Capabilities

What we do

These services are done without your parts ever leaving the shop.

  • CNC Milling - Subtractive machining capable of machining complex profiles, creating precise holes, and thread cutting and forming by tapping or thread mill operations. 
  • CNC Turning/Mill Turn - Subtractive machining process capable of tight tolerance turned profiles, as well as simple milling operations (side hole machining, tapping, light profiling work) in a single operation. Our machine features an opposed-spindle setup, allowing complete parts to be made in a single setup, without intervention.
  • Laser Etch - Fiber laser can add text, graphics, bar or QR codes, and logos to your parts. This process works great when done after a finishing process, creating high-contrast marks on anodized aluminum, oxide-treated steels, and powder-coated materials. It also has good results on raw steel, stainless, brass, aluminum, and carbide.
  • FDM/FFF 3D Printing - Additive process good for small prototype or light-duty plastic components. Capable of creating geometries otherwise difficult or impossible by conventional machining methods.
  • Surface Grinding - Precision finishing of flat surfaces on parts.
  • Threaded Insert Installation - Install wire thread inserts (Helicoils) or key-locking inserts to increase thread strength in parts made of softer alloys

What our vendors do

To provide these services, we work with local vendors to get your project completed to your specifications. I'm always working to expand my network - feel free to ask if you'd like other services.

  • Heat Treating - increase hardness, wear or abrasion resistance, or anneal raw stock for easier machining.
  • Anodizing - Clear, black, or colored coating for aluminum
  • Laser Cutting/Bending - Cut complex shapes from plate stock and form into shapes. Can be used to create a complete part or create blanks for further machining on our equipment.
