Capabilities
Precision Production Machining Since 1985
OVERVIEW
With over four decades of experience, High Tech Turning has established itself as a premier production CNC machining company, delivering high precision component parts for medical devices and other high tech instruments.
We produce all of our custom precision components in our modern manufacturing facility in Watertown, Massachusetts, that has been optimized to run for 20 hours per day on multiple shifts.
We turn chucked parts under 3” in diameter. Our CNC Swiss machines can turn up to 1 ½” diameters with lengths over 30”. One of our strengths is CNC turning precision micro components under .030” in diameter and .030” in length and in quantities of 1+ million per year. Production tolerances are controlled as tightly as required, even as close as +/- 0.0001”.
Our CNC milling centers are equipped with either 4 or 5 axis capability so we can handle complex parts efficiently. We pride ourselves in using that capability to completely machine most parts in one operation. Our cubic envelope for milling goes up to 14” X 12” X 8”.
Our Specialties
With HTT’s expert production team and precision-controlled manufacturing process, you get high-quality parts delivered on time, built to your exact specifications—all at a fair price.
Micro-Machining
Micro-machining requires deeply specialized tools and expertise. HTT has developed the necessary experience to be comfortable machining high accuracy components that can only be seen in detail with a microscope. Stainless steel parts are produced in high volume quantities with OD’s under .030” and lengths under .020” with tolerances well under .0010” and thru holes down to .012” burr free.
Medical Devices
70% of the parts produced at HTT are component parts for medical devices. We have a medical mindset for all of our production. All of our process controls have been established to ensure that the parts we produce have no known deviations from required specifications. A big part of that is our daily AQL dimensional inspection of the product lots produced on every machine. This constant feedback is important for machinists to develop and stabilize the machining process.
Die Castings
We’ve partnered with customers who need CNC milling to finish die castings to exact specifications. We use our modern and extensive CNC Milling Department for these high-precision jobs and have experience with various materials, including challenging metals like magnesium. HTT is able to handle die castings with complex geometries and extremely tight tolerances in one operation ensuring high quality consistency for large production volumes.
Capabilities
HTT’s highly-experienced production team and closely-controlled manufacturing process ensures that your parts can be produced to your specifications, on schedule, at a fair price.
CNC Milling
We utilize 19 CNC vertical machining centers all equipped with a fourth rotary axis with a max part envelope of 10”x20”x20”.
Swiss Lathe
Our 23 multi-axis turning centers produce complex parts, up to 2.5” diameter, usually complete in one operation.
Culture of Quality
Our relationships with our customers, some of which date back 20+ years, are defined by our commitment to excellence.
Stocking & Supply Chain Management
Strict computerized control practices allow us to maintain planned customer inventory, ready for release as needed.
We trust our complex parts with High Tech Turning for their responsive customer service, flexible delivery options, high-quality manufacturing, and fair prices. We’ve had zero quality issues with their machined parts over the years.

FAQs
Don’t see your question? Contact us.
How do you handle unexpected delays or material shortages?
We have robust strategies in place to manage these issues, including maintaining close and open communication with our customers and suppliers, dynamic production monitoring systems, inventory management via our stocking program, and built-in process improvement measures.
Do you do prototyping?
We love working with our customers to develop their products, but our company is more set up for high-volume production. We prefer to wait to get involved until a design is proved out, when we can do what we call “pre-production prototyping” ranging in volumes from 10 to 100 pieces.
How do you manage scale-up from prototyping to mass production?
Our process is identical regardless of order size, making scaling the operations easy and efficient.
My part requires plating, can you handle that?
We can! HTT outsources plating and other post-machining services to our local network of certified subcontractors. We handle all of the logistics so you’ll receive your parts finished and to print.
What is your typical lead time for prototypes and production runs?
Because of our efficient process, we’re typically able to meet or exceed the industry standard but every part is different. For a more specific custom timeline tailored to your needs, request a quote.
