Services
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services deliver complex metal components to exacting tolerances. Using advanced Mazak and Doosan equipment, we handle materials from stainless steel to specialist alloys. Our capabilities include multi-axis milling and turning for industries requiring precision-engineered parts.
Collet Chucks
We manufacture precision collet chucks for bar machining applications. Our range includes fixed length, pull-back, and quick-change systems for diameters from 1.6mm to 80mm. These solutions ensure accurate workpiece gripping with rapid changeover capabilities.
Subcontracting
Our subcontracting services support manufacturers requiring precision components. We handle projects from one-off prototypes to bulk production runs. Our agile manufacturing approach ensures competitive pricing and timely delivery for clients across Scotland.
Expanding Mandrels
We supply expanding mandrels for precise internal diameter workholding. Our KEM series provides rigid gripping from 12.4mm to 635mm diameters. These solutions enable full workpiece access while maintaining perfect concentricity during machining operations.
Metal Turning
Our metal turning capabilities handle components up to 575mm diameter using advanced CNC lathes. We work with materials including stainless steel, aluminium, and heat-treatable alloys. Our high-speed turning techniques maintain precision while optimising production efficiency.
