Fine Machining Services

High-precision machining for complex parts with tight tolerances and superior surface finish, ensuring accuracy and consistency for demanding applications.

Service Overview

Fine machining is one of our core competencies, combining advanced CNC technology with expert craftsmanship to achieve ultra-precise dimensional control and mirror-like surface finishes.
At CMS, we provide fine machining services for prototypes, custom parts, and small to medium-scale production, ensuring each component meets strict industrial standards.

Typical accuracy: ±0.005mm
Surface roughness (Ra): up to 0.2μm
Compatible materials: aluminum, stainless steel, brass, titanium, engineering plastics

What Is Fine Machining?

Fine machining refers to advanced cutting and finishing processes that achieve extremely tight tolerances and superior surface quality.
Unlike conventional machining, fine machining involves the use of high-precision CNC machines, diamond tools, and optimized cutting parameters to minimize tool marks and deviations.

Key techniques include:

  • Micro CNC milling and turning

  • Precision grinding and polishing

  • Ultra-fine boring and honing

  • Laser-assisted finishing

Tolerance & Quality Assurance

Unless otherwise specified by customer drawings, our fine machining standard tolerances are:

  • Linear dimensions: ±0.005mm

  • Hole diameter: ±0.005mm

  • Surface roughness: Ra 0.2μm

Every part is inspected using CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines), profile projectors, and surface testers to ensure all critical dimensions meet or exceed specifications.
We are certified with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 to ensure quality consistency.

Fine machining is a precision cutting process that improves dimensional accuracy and surface quality, achieving smoother finishes compared to standard machining.

Fine machining typically reaches Ra 0.8–1.6 μm, and in some cases can achieve finer results depending on material and tooling.

Most metals and engineering plastics: aluminum, stainless steel, steel alloys, brass, copper, titanium, POM, and PEEK.

No — fine machining enhances precision. It is ideal for parts requiring tight dimensional control and improved flatness, roundness, or consistency.

Fine machining is recommended when your part requires better surface quality, reduced friction, improved sealing, or high cosmetic standards.

Not entirely. Fine machining improves smoothness, but for a fully uniform matte or glossy cosmetic surface, bead blasting or polishing may still be required.

Yes — CMS uses optimized tooling and setups to maintain consistent fine-machined quality across large-volume production.

Yes. Fine machining is often used before anodizing or plating to ensure a more uniform and visually consistent finish.
