What we make

Four work centres under one roof, so a part can be cut, machined, welded and finished without leaving the building.

CNC machining

Three-axis and five-axis milling, CNC turning with live tooling, and cylindrical and surface grinding.

  • Milling envelope1000 × 500 × 500 mm
  • TurningØ 400 × 600 mm
  • Tolerance held± 0.01 mm
Machining details

Sheet metal

Fibre laser cutting, CNC folding and hardware insertion, from 0.5 mm stainless to 20 mm steel plate.

  • Sheet size3000 × 1500 mm
  • Press brake135 t, 3.1 m
  • Steel plateup to 20 mm
Sheet metal details

Welded fabrication

MIG and TIG welding of steel, stainless steel and aluminium frames, guards, brackets and tanks.

  • Largest frame4 × 2 × 2 m
  • ProcessesMIG, TIG
  • Welders6 coded (sample)
Fabrication details

Finishing and assembly

Deburring, bead blasting and washing in house; anodising, plating and powder coat through approved finishers; kitted or built assemblies.

  • In housedeburr, blast, wash
  • Outsideanodise, plate, paint
  • Assemblykits to sub-assemblies

Inspection you can read

Every batch is checked against your drawing, and the paperwork travels with the parts.

  • First article inspection report on new parts and new revisions
  • 3.1 material certificates traced to the batch
  • Certificates of conformity, and finish certificates from outside processes
  • Measured on a CMM in a temperature-controlled room

Lead times (sample).

No minimum order

We make single parts and spares as well as batches. For one-offs we quote the set-up separately so you can compare.

Urgent parts

Breakdown at your end? Call (555) 017-4400 and ask for the planner; we fit urgent work between batches where we can.

Apprenticeships and jobs

Most of our setters and welders started here as apprentices. Every apprentice works next to an experienced machinist and goes to college one day a week.
