Services We Provide
We offer over 50 years of experience in close tolerance fabrication
including designing, milling, welding, precision machining, grinding and
EDM work. We can be your reliable source for dies, jigs, fixtures and
machine parts.
We work with all industrial materials: steel, carbide, copper, brass,
aluminum and plastics.
We provide a diverse custom job shop that can fill your needs.

Machine Type: Wire EDM
Special Features: Wire EDM (electrical discharge machining) uses an
electrically energized thin brass wire to slice through metal - including
difficult to machine metals. Wire EDM creates intricate profiles. The Wire
EDM machine uses rapid, controlled, repetitive spark discharges.
Possible shapes: Any simple or complex 2D shape - allows cutouts
and thin walls.
Example parts: Punches, dies, stripper plates, gears made from Steel,
super alloys, titanium, aluminum, brass, carbide and most metals.
Advantages: Cutting intricate shapes and tight radius contours. Low cost
when surface area of cut edge is small or quantity is low. Workpiece
thickness ranges from a few thousandths of an inch to several inches
Notes: Wire EDM edges are smooth but matte. Typical surface finish is
between 16 and 64 micro inches. The edges of the finished work piece will
have virtually no burrs
Machine Type: 2-CNC Milling Machines
Special Features: CNC milling is a cutting process in which
material is removed from a block of material by a rotating tool. In 3-axis
milling the work piece or cutting tool is moved in all three dimensions
to achieve the desired cut shape. Material is usually removed by both
the end and the side of the cutting tool. In CNC milling the cutting tool
rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the table that holds the
material to be cut. Cutting tools of various profile shapes are available
including square, rounded, and angled. A wide variety of part shapes
and geometries are possible.
CNC means "computer numeric control" and allows customers to
specify close tolerances for their parts, much closer tolerances than
could be regularly produced by humans. This is possible because
people have pioneered a systems of interfaces which go directly from
computer-based drawings (and imported files such as DXF and DWG
files from other programs) directly into CNC machine programs.
Machine Type: CNC Lathe
Special Features: This is a special CNC that has
speeds and feeds beyond typical machines. It has "live
tooling" that allows us to mill slots and flats on parts.
We can make any round shape that can be drawn on a
computer -- and we can draw those shapes.
Machine Type: Ram-type EDM
Special Features: This machine works the same
as the Wire EDM, but we can also burn cavities with it.
Unlike the Wire EDM machine, we can use this
machine to make partial penetrations such as pockets
and holes to close tolerances. We burn carbides and
hardened steels to make die parts and machine parts.
Machine Type: Engine Lathe
Special Features: X and Y Axis DRO (Digital Readout) lathe with length of
travel 40" with a 2.5 " hole through the head stock.
This machine tool makes round shaped parts by turning the material and
applying a cutter to produce parts as long as 40" and 14" in diameter.
Machine Type: Surface Grinders
Special Features: These Surface Grinders allow us to produce close
tolerance dimensions on dies and machine parts.
Machine Type: Turret Milling Machine
Special Features: This Turret Mill allows us to do
precision hole location, boring and milling to close
tolerances.
