CNC Turning vs Grinding vs Bushing Assembly Comparison
| Process | Best For | Advantages | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Turning | Pins, shafts and cylindrical parts | Efficient for round precision parts | Suitable for custom diameters and grooves |
| Grinding | High surface finish or tight diameter control | Improves surface quality and fit | Used when required by tolerance |
| Bushing Machining | Sleeve and wear components | Supports rotating or sliding interfaces | Material selection is important |
| Bushing Assembly | Pivot or stop parts with inserted sleeves | Improves functional fit | Requires assembly tolerance control |
