What is Swiss screw machining?
Swiss screw machining is a precision manufacturing process using specialized Swiss-type lathes that support the workpiece with a guide bushing near the cutting tool. This allows for extremely precise machining of small-diameter, complex parts with tight tolerances and superior surface finishes, making it ideal for medical devices, aerospace, and defense components.
