Our CNC Equipment List — Machines, Capacity & Capabilities

CNC machining equipment on our floor

This page walks through the cnc machining equipment we run, grouped by process rather than by machine count. We keep it functional on purpose: the question that matters is not how many machines we have but whether a process fits your part, your quantity and your tolerance. Our floor covers turning, Swiss-type turning, milling, multi-axis work, turning-and-milling composite work, drilling and threading, deburring, assembly and packing — with a milling envelope up to 800 × 500 mm on our vertical machining centers.

We machine aluminium, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, brass and copper and titanium on this equipment, from 50-piece pilots to production runs, and hold ±0.01 mm on the features that need it.

How a job moves through the equipment

A job does not stay on one machine. It moves in a short chain: your drawing is reviewed and quoted within 24 hours with DFM feedback, the part is programmed, the stock is machined to size, threads and other secondary operations are added, the part is deburred, finished through our vetted partner network, assembled if needed, and packed. Each process group below explains what that equipment does and when it is the right choice.

Equipment by process

CNC turning

Turning produces round, concentric parts: shafts, bushings, spacers, fittings and adapters, pins and similar rotationally symmetric work. It suits parts whose outside diameter, bore and faces must stay concentric, and it is the most economical route for round parts in any volume. Precision features are held to ±0.01 mm. For you that means round parts that run true and quote efficiently.

Swiss-type turning

Swiss-type machining is available for small-diameter, high-volume turned parts — long parts relative to their diameter, often in stainless steel or brass. It excels where a part needs tight concentricity and a high piece count. For you it means cost-effective precision on small turned components, without our publishing a diameter limit that may not match your drawing.

Turning and milling composite

A turning-and-milling composite machine cuts turned features and milled flats, slots or cross-holes in one setup. That matters where a milled detail has to relate to a turned diameter — a flat that must sit square to a bore, for example — because one setup removes the stack-up you would get by moving the part to a second machine. Quote-wise it also removes a second operation from the routing.

Milling (3-axis CNC mill)

Our 3 axis cnc mill equipment cuts flat faces, pockets, slots, holes and profiles into prismatic parts such as brackets, enclosures and housings, flanges and machine fixtures. A cnc mill axis count of three covers most prismatic geometry, and our vertical machining centers offer an 800 × 500 mm work envelope. Milling is the right process where locating surfaces and hole patterns must relate to each other precisely.

Multi-axis machining (4-axis and 5-axis positioning)

Where a part needs features on several faces, our multi-axis capability cuts it in fewer setups than separate 3-axis work. That reduces stack-up between features and suits angled holes, complex housings and parts that would otherwise need repeated fixturing. For you it means fewer setups and a tighter relationship between features on different faces.

Drilling and threading

Hole patterns, tapped holes and thread-rolled blanks come off this group. Threads are cut to the standard on your drawing — metric, inch or a specific thread standard — and thread rolling, where the part allows it, produces strong, smooth threads at production volume. This is also where machined blanks become custom screws, bolts, nuts and studs.

Grinding and wire EDM (partner network)

Grinding, wire EDM and similar special processes run through our vetted partner network under one quality process. They come into play when a feature needs a fine fit, a hardened material, or a sharp internal corner that a cutter cannot reach. Tell us the feature and the tolerance you need and we will confirm the route and the lead time in the quote.

Deburring and surface preparation

Every machined part carries sharp edges and chips from cutting. Deburring and surface preparation remove them so parts assemble cleanly, seat properly and do not cut the person handling them. It is a small step with an outsized effect on whether a batch is usable on arrival.

Assembly and light pressing

Where an order is more than one part, we can press, stake or assemble simple sub-assemblies before packing, so your receiving team gets a unit rather than a kit. Tell us the fit and the sequence and we will quote it as one line.

Finishing (partner network)

Anodizing, black oxide, zinc plating, nickel and chrome plating, passivation and heat treatment are applied by our vetted partner finishers under the same quality process. We manage the route, the masking notes and the return date, and we check the dimensional impact of the finish on threads and fits.

Packing

Packing is the last process and the first thing your receiving team sees. Parts are cleaned, counted and packed with the packing list and carton markings matched to the order, then photographed before dispatch — see quality documents and packaging and shipping.

Precision by process

Process group	Typical work	Tolerance we hold
CNC turning	Shafts, bushings, spacers, fittings	±0.01 mm on precision features
Swiss-type turning	Small bar-fed parts, higher volumes	±0.01 mm on precision features
Turning and milling composite	Turned parts with milled flats or cross-holes	±0.01 mm, one setup
Milling (3-axis)	Brackets, housings, flanges, fixtures	±0.01 mm; envelope 800 × 500 mm
Multi-axis (4/5-axis positioning)	Angled holes, multi-face features	±0.01 mm, fewer setups
Drilling and threading	Hole patterns, tapped and rolled threads	Per drawing and thread standard
Grinding / wire EDM	Tight fits, hardened material, sharp corners	Reviewed per drawing (partner network)
Deburring, assembly, packing	All orders	—

General dimensions that your drawing does not call out are machined to ISO 2768-m. If a feature needs to be tighter than ±0.01 mm, we say so during DFM review instead of discovering it after cutting.

What our equipment can and cannot do

We machine	We review per drawing	We do not do
Turned, milled and multi-axis parts to your drawing	Features tighter than ±0.01 mm	Parts with no drawing, sketch or sample to work from
Aluminium, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, brass, copper, titanium	Parts larger than the 800 × 500 mm milling envelope	In-house plating, anodizing or heat-treatment lines (these run through partners)
Metric, inch and special threads	Hardened material and features needing grinding or EDM	Published machine counts — we quote by process fit, not by fleet size
Samples from 1 piece, production from 50 pieces	Assemblies with tight press fits or unusual sequences	Electronics, wiring or software content

Material certificates and pre-shipment photos

Whatever the process, every order ships with a material certificate (MTR) and pre-shipment photos. That, plus the ±0.01 mm capability and our own floor, is the trust basis behind this cnc machining equipment page: process, capacity and paperwork you can check.
