All our CNC mills are Mori Seiki, with he exception of one OKK. We range from 10,000 to 27,000 RPM on the spindles directly, but w go to 45,000 RPM with a geared head. We are known for being a 5 axis machine shop, but we are more than that as well. We believe high speed machining is the wave of the future. We have updated tooling and software to be able to take full advantage of high speed machining in hardened steel as well as in standard strength steel.

Hard Milling is similar, in that it is done at reduced depths of cut and at very high feed rates, but has the added benefit of machining materials that have already been heat treated to their finish hardness. Hard Milling eliminates the Non-Value-Added process steps required in standard machining. Again, at Metalmite it’s your parts faster, better and cheaper. For the high quality parts needed to not only stay competitive but to grow in our global economy you can count on us. At Metalmite we’ve got you back and we prove it everyday. Come see us, we’ll be happy to show you.
The essence of high speed machining is taking many light cuts at closely spaced step-overs, thus leaving minimal cusps between passes. The goal is to create an as-machined surface that drastically reduces the need for subsequent processing.
