Lathes
The engine lathe, once a commonly used tool for creating features around a common axis, is now an excellent tool for machining locators, targeting of difficult casting features and for single part manufacture. Too slow to compete in today's market place, it is still a very effective tool when used for tooling and miscellaneous operations that are not well suited to computerized equipment.
Milling Machines
The Bridgeport milling machines are still utilized for the odd features that are not feasible to be produced on the computerized technology of today. In this area, the skill level of the machinist becomes extremely critical. Angle holes, tooling plates, and proto - type work are handled in our support equipment department.
Jig Borer
The outcome of product flow and quality depend on the steps taken before hand while building production tooling. This precision boring machine insures feature locator positions are held to extremely precise tolerances.
