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…
We enjoy machining aluminum whenever we get the chance. It is a welcomed change after machining the alloy and hardened steels we typically get. Whether it is 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 we just let the end mills to the talking and push through as fast as they will allow. I am amazed that we can sometimes look at a job after…

I received word this month that a couple machine shops in our area have closed their doors. I have not heard why or any other details though. We decided that if we could help in any way we would. If your company had open orders with a shop that closed, we are willing to look the job over and see…

As you can see from the photo attached, the programming is done at the machine with the conversational control.…
