# Nonstandard Precision Machining# Turning processing/What kind of equipment is suitable for processing shafts with side holes?

1. CNC lathe

The movement of the tool can be controlled through programming to process the outer circle, end face and side hole of the shaft.

2. Machining center

It can use multi-axis linkage to process complex shapes. For shafts with side holes, it can process multiple surfaces and holes in one clamping, ensuring machining accuracy and positional accuracy.

3. Drilling press

If the accuracy of the side hole is not high and the shape is relatively simple, a drill machine can be used for drilling.

4. Milling machine

For some side holes with special shapes or higher requirements, the milling machine can process them by milling.

In actual production, the choice of equipment to process shafts with side holes requires comprehensive consideration of processing accuracy requirements, production batches, costs and other factors.
