Capabilities

CNC Turning

Two CNC lathes. Bar feed. Live tooling.

Two CNC lathes in service. Bar feed on both for unattended production, sub-spindle and live tooling on the second machine for one-hit complete machining. We hold tight tolerances on shafts, fittings, bushings, valve bodies, custom fasteners and threaded components.

CNC turning suits any part with rotational symmetry — shafts, sleeves, bushings, connectors, nozzles, hex-bar work, flanges, and threaded fittings. Bar feeders on both machines let us run unattended overnight for production volumes. The sub-spindle on Machine 2 lets us machine both ends in one hit, keeping tolerances tighter and handling time lower.
