WE ARE
ENGINEERS

I started VIACNC in 2001 after spending years on the shop floor. I’d seen too many lathes in-particular sold as “heavy-duty” that simply did not deliver.

We proved our approach with true heavy-duty lathes, and have now expanded into multitasking lathes and 5-axis machines.

Always engineered around the part, not marketing language.


If something won’t work, we say so. If it can be improved, we will improve it.

No sales language, no matching ties

WHO
YOU DEAL WITH

When you contact VIACNC, you’ll speak directly to people who understand machining - not a sales person

We don’t push machines that don’t fit.
We don’t treat our customers as a commodity
And if we think something won’t work, we’ll tell you before it becomes your problem

WHY
WE BUILD WITH OTURN

We partner with OTURN because their machines give us the freedom to engineer around the part - not around a fixed specification.

From conventional CNC lathes to multi-axis and 5-axis turn-mill machines, the OTURN platform is inherently configurable. That matters when the application isn’t straightforward.

This isn’t about choosing a model from a brochure. It’s about selecting a base machine that can be adapted -spindle, axis configuration, workholding, tooling, automation - to suit how the part actually needs to be made.

That’s why we use OTURN for our most complex projects. One platform, almost unlimited scope - engineered, configured and proven by VIACNC

OTURN are a global CNC manufacturer. We work with them because the engineering stands up to scrutiny.
