Single-spindle screw machining uses a single rotating station to produce precision turned parts. This process offers incredible flexibility, as the machines can be outfitted with a variety of cutting tools for custom fastener manufacturing, delivering high-accuracy machining ideal for low-to-medium-volume production and for parts that require tighter process control. Designed for precision over throughput, single-spindle machining services at Norwood Screw Machine provide customized components with close tolerances that meet blueprint specifications.
As a sub-process of screw machining, single-spindle operations emphasize accuracy and versatility over entire production. These machines use a single-spindle design and offer a fast setup, providing a precision turned parts manufacturing solution that accurately machines a single workpiece at a time, with specific cases for:
For over 68 years, Norwood Screw Machine has provided precision turned parts manufacturing through a wide range of high-accuracy machining services in the USA.

With inherent process flexibility, single-spindle operations are compatible with a variety of materials to produce high-quality, custom parts that meet your reliability and performance requirements. Our capabilities can machine:
Depending on your project requirements, we can also work with a range of materials not listed here. For more information, reach out to one of our expert engineers with your questions about compatible material options.
Norwood Screw Machine prioritizes the process that will deliver the best results for your project. Along with single-spindle screw machining, we also offer multi-spindle screw machining, CNC turning, and Swiss machining, ensuring the process used meets your requirements for volume, tolerance, and complexity.
Compared to single-spindle screw machining, multi-spindle screw machining uses multiple spindles to machine various parts simultaneously, offering the fastest per-part time for high-volumes. Multi-spindle screw machining is preferred for large-volume production, parts with various turned features, and applications that require cycle-time reduction and consistency.
With CNC turning, we can achieve desired dimensions using equipment that holds the workpiece while equipment rotates, performing subtractive machining for cylindrical, conical, and axially symmetric parts. Swiss screw machining is another process we offer, using a sliding headstock to support the work material close to the tool and enable the creation of small, highly complex components with intricate features and extremely tight tolerances.
At Norwood Screw Machine, we understand that quality does not cost, it pays. With an expertly trained team of quality assurance professionals, we conduct incoming, in-process, and final inspections to ensure your custom components meet your exact specifications. We can provide first-article inspection, SPC, final inspection reports, material, plating, and heat-treating certifications, Lot I.D. and traceability, as well as RoHS compliance and DFARS conformance upon request. Through combined executive management and engineering experience, our machining services are designed for guaranteed satisfaction.
Since 1958, Norwood Screw Machine has been committed to serving our clients here in the USA with high-quality custom components. Our single-spindle screw machining capabilities deliver precision turned parts with complex geometries, flexibility, and repeatability for low- to medium- production projects. As a proven machining partner for industrial engineers and OEMs, we offer a full suite of machining capabilities, selecting the process best suited to your project needs to deliver the quality and performance you require.

Needed to get a machined part and found Norwood Screw Machine Parts online. Checked out their website and went by their office to get some advice, recommendations, and a price quote. I spoke with the owner, Gary Prchal who was VERY helpful and fine tuned my initial model. In a couple of weeks my product was completed. I was very happy with the service and would definitely use them again for any other projects!
