CNC Milling Processes:
Milling: Cutting and shaping with a rotating tool
Facing: Creating flat surfaces
Drilling: Precision hole making
Pocketing: Machining recessed areas
Tapping: Threaded hole creation
Shoulder Milling: Forming ledges or steps
Multi-Axis Machining: Producing complex 3D shapes
CNC Lathe Processes:
Turning: Forming cylindrical or conical shapes
Facing: Flat end surfaces
Grooving: Cutting grooves or channels
Thread Cutting: Internal or external threading
Drilling: Axial hole creation
Taper Turning: Conical profiles with varying diameters
Post Machining Processes: After precision machining, we offer or coordinate key finishing and secondary processes to ensure your parts are production-ready,
Deburring, Cleaning & Passivation: Smooth edges and remove machining residue for safe, finished parts.
Anodizing & Plating: Protective or cosmetic surface treatments, including aluminum anodizing and metal plating.
Heat Treating: Hardening or stress-relieving metals to meet strength and durability requirements.
Grinding & Polishing: Achieve tighter tolerances and smoother finishes when required.
Threading & Insert Installation: Tapped holes, Helicoil inserts, and thread prep for fastener-ready components.
Assembly & Light Fabrication: Part kitting, sub-assembly, or integration with other components as needed.
