Why Swiss turning produces better results on small, complex parts — not just faster ones.
The guide bushing is the key. On a Swiss lathe, the material is supported right at the cutting zone — not at the chuck, inches away from where the tool is working.
That support is why Swiss turning holds tighter tolerances on small-diameter parts. Less deflection. More consistent geometry. Better surface finish.
Add live tooling, sub-spindle, and gang tooling to the equation and you get complete parts — milled features, cross-holes, threads — off the machine in one setup.
For complex, small-diameter components, Swiss turning isn't just faster. It's the right process. The tolerances that other processes struggle to maintain consistently are routine on a well-run Swiss machine.
That's why Kremin built its shop around 15 of them.
