We specialise in precision CNC milling and turning for engineers and buyers who need parts done right. We work on both one-off prototypes and low-volume production runs, and we take on complex, tight-tolerance jobs that many larger shops turn away. Every job gets the same level of care, clear communication, no surprises, and parts that meet spec.
CNC milling is a subtractive machining process where a rotating cutting tool removes material from a solid block to create the required geometry. Pithagoris operates 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling centres, allowing us to produce everything from simple prismatic parts to highly complex geometries and undercuts, all in-house, in the UK.
Our 5-axis capability means complex parts can often be completed in a single setup, reducing lead time and improving accuracy.
CNC turning uses a stationary cutting tool against a rotating workpiece to produce precise cylindrical components, shafts, bushings, fittings, and multi-feature rotational parts. Pithagoris’ turning capability includes live tooling, allowing cross-drilled holes, milled flats, and other features to be added without a second operation.
CNC machining produces parts with excellent dimensional accuracy, but surface finish requirements vary by application. Pithagoris offers a range of post-machining finishes via our trusted partner network, all quoted and managed as part of your order.

Engineers, buyers, and R&D teams who rely on us for precision CNC machining.
“Fast turnaround, great communication throughout, and the parts were exactly to spec. Will definitely be using Pithagoris again.”
“We needed a complex aluminium prototype quickly. Pithagoris flagged a potential issue with our drawing before machining, saved us a lot of time.”
“Excellent surface finish and tight tolerances held perfectly. The team is responsive and easy to deal with.”
“Reliable, professional, and genuinely helpful on a tricky 5-axis job. Exactly the kind of supplier you want for prototype work.”
“Good pricing, fast delivery, and the parts were perfect. We’ve made Pithagoris our go-to CNC supplier.”
“Turned around a batch of brass fittings in 3 days. Great quality and really straightforward to deal with.”
“The communication alone sets Pithagoris apart. You always know what’s happening with your job.”
“Competitive pricing, no nonsense, and parts that come out exactly right. Would recommend to any engineer needing precision CNC work.”

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process where material is removed from a solid block using computer-controlled cutting tools. It’s the most reliable method for producing tight-tolerance custom metal and plastic parts, from simple turned components to complex 5-axis geometries. At Pithagoris, we operate our own machines in the UK and handle every job directly.
Pithagoris operates 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling centres alongside CNC turning equipment. We work with aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel, brass, copper, and engineering plastics. Tight tolerances are standard, typically ±0.01mm depending on part geometry and material. Post-processing finishes including anodising, bead blasting, passivation, and laser marking are available via our trusted partner network.
Our standard tolerance is ISO 2768-m (medium) for metal parts and ISO 2768-c (coarse) for plastics. For tighter requirements, we routinely hold tolerances to ±0.01mm depending on part geometry and material. If your drawing specifies tolerances, we machine to them. If not, we’ll confirm what’s achievable for your specific part before we start.
For CNC milling, we can machine parts from small detailed components up to approximately 600 x 400 x 300mm on our 5-axis centres. For CNC turning, we handle diameters from 3mm up to 300mm. If your part falls outside these ranges, get in touch and we’ll advise on options.
As standard, all parts are deburred and edge-broken. Surface roughness is typically Ra 1.6–3.2μm as machined. If you need a specific cosmetic standard or a controlled surface finish, specify this on your drawing or enquiry and we’ll quote accordingly.
For standard parts, you can get an instant online quote by uploading your CAD file to our quoting tool. Pricing is based on machining time, material, setup, and any finishing required. For complex or multi-operation parts, we’ll review your files and come back with a detailed quote promptly. There are no hidden costs, what you’re quoted is what you pay.
The main cost drivers in CNC machining are machining time, material choice, setup complexity, and tight tolerances. Design tips that reduce cost include: minimising the number of setups required, avoiding unnecessarily tight tolerances on non-critical features, choosing standard material stock sizes, and keeping internal corners as large as possible. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to advise on DFM before you commit to a design.
We machine your parts directly at Pithagoris in the UK. We don’t broker jobs to third-party factories. That means you always know who is making your parts, and we take full accountability for quality and lead time.
