Single-Spindle Machining


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.

When to Choose Single-Spindle Screw Machining for Your Project

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:

  • Smaller production runs
  • Complex-turned fasteners
  • Short-run production
  • Applications requiring faster turnaround times

Other Machining Processes Compared to Single-Spindle Screw Machining

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.

Single-Spindle Machining vs. Multi-Spindle Machining

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.

CNC Turning and Swiss Screw Machining

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.

Quality Control and Process Consistency for High-Quality Parts

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.

    The staff is very helpful fine tuning ideas. The workmanship is flawless. I was very pleased with their services!



    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!
