CNC Wood Turning Service

What is CNC Wood Turning?

CNC wood turning uses special computer-controlled machines to shape wood into exact forms. Unlike hand turning, our machines can make the same perfect shape over and over again. This is great when you need many matching pieces or very detailed designs.

At Istar Machining, our multi-axis CNC lathes can create almost any wooden shape you can think of – from simple to super fancy! Our machines are very precise (within ±0.1mm) so everything fits just right.

Materials We Work With

We can turn almost any type of wood into beautiful pieces:

• Hardwoods like maple and walnut
• Plywood for layered effects
• MDF for painting or coating
• Exotic woods for special projects
• Resin-wood hybrids for unique effects

Our experts at Istar Machining’s CNC Turning department know exactly how to work with each material to get the best results.

Our precision makes sure all your table legs match perfectly. We’ve helped furniture makers create matching sets of chairs with identical spindles that would be almost impossible to match by hand.

Architectural Elements

We’ve created custom balusters for historic home renovations where each piece needed to match existing woodwork. Our precision makes these matches perfect.
