About Us | TORNELLE – CNC Machining Company, Istanbul

Our story

TORNELLE started as a turning shop in İkitelli, the industrial heart of Istanbul. Over the years we expanded the machine park with CNC vertical machining centres, 4-axis machines and an 8-axis Swiss-type lathe – but the core principle never changed: deliver to drawing, on time, as promised. Today we supply industries from automotive to medical devices and focus on exporting to industrial customers across Europe.

Our machine park

Topper TMV-1050 and Leadwell V-20i 3-axis vertical machining centres, Kitagawa and Well 4-axis machining centres, a Kitagawa 8" CNC lathe, a Gildemeister CTX 320 Linear CNC lathe and a Hanwha Ø32 8-axis Swiss-type lathe. All machines are CAM-programmed; inspection is carried out with calipers, micrometers, dial gauges and gauge sets.

Our values

Precision: every part is measured and reported
Transparency: clear price, clear lead time, no surprises
Partnership: we make your design manufacturable together with you
Accountability: if something goes wrong, we own it and fix it

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you export?

Yes. We ship to the EU and the UK and prepare the export documents (invoice, packing list, A.TR, certificate of origin) ourselves.

Can I visit the facility?

Of course. Our workshop in İkitelli OIZ is 30 minutes from Istanbul Airport; contact us to arrange an appointment.

Deep Hole Drilling and Thin-Walled Parts: Challenges, Methods and Design Recommendations

Holes longer than five times their diameter and parts with wall thickness below 1 mm are two classic challenges that multiply cost and risk in CNC machining. Drill drift, chip packing and heat in deep holes; clamping deformation, chatter and thermal expansion in thin walls. This article covers both from the supplier's and the designer's perspective: when a hole counts as deep, the problems, methods including gundrilling and BTA, deep holes on Swiss-type lathes, when a wall counts as thin, workholding solutions, design recommendations, cost impact and FAQs.
