Services
CNC Turning
Our CNC turning services produce intricate components up to 65mm bar diameter using advanced machinery. We handle small to medium batch production with high accuracy, offering milling procedures within turning cycles and fine engraving. Clients benefit from rapid turnaround and consistent quality for both prototypes and large-scale runs.
Manual Milling
Complementing our CNC capabilities, manual milling ensures precision for one-off repairs and prototype development. Two dedicated machines produce highly accurate parts with fine finishes, supporting clients requiring bespoke solutions or urgent modifications to existing components.
Surface Grinding
Using a Jones and Shipman 1400 Surface Grinder, we achieve tolerances within 0.001 inches on hardened steel and magnetic plates. This service refines edges, refurbishes surfaces, and ensures components meet exact dimensional requirements for critical applications.
Welding & Fabrication
Our TIG, MIG, and gas welding capabilities handle steel, aluminium, and alloys. Supported by cutting, bending, and assembly equipment, we deliver light fabrication projects, structural repairs, and custom metal components with rigorous quality control.
Precision Machining
We manufacture bespoke parts for industries including healthcare, nuclear research, and oil & gas. Using CNC and manual systems, we produce flow metering stations, reactor components, and specialised machinery to exact drawings, ensuring compatibility and durability.
