Contract machining
Precision CNC. We want the work that repeats — fixtures, a locked process, and an economical price. Engineering help is available.
How we like to work
One-off jobs happen. What we want is a customer who keeps coming back. Dedicated tooling, a locked-in process, and a price that drops as the work repeats.
Haas VF-4SS, three VF-3SS, a VF-2SS, and a FANUC RoboDrill — all 4-axis. Plus a 3-axis RoboDrill with a pallet changer for repeating work.
Haas TL lathe for shafts, collars, bushings, and turned bodies that have to clean up and stay concentric.
Renishaw probing on every machine. Bench checks with calipers, mics, height gage, pin gauges, gauge blocks, and an optical comparator.
Partnership
Repeating work is how fixtures pay off. That is the relationship we want.
Standing orders beat a new setup every time. The more the part repeats, the more cost we can take out.
Dedicated workholding costs money up front. On the right volume it pays back in cycle time, scrap, and piece price.
We will work the print with you — what has to hold, and what can change so the part runs faster.
How we quote
Quote the first lot if you need it. Also tell us what the part does in a year. That is how tooling gets into the price.
Materials
If you run something less common, ask. We will tell you whether we want the job before you wait on a quote.
Plymouth, Indiana
We are in Plymouth, Indiana — northern Indiana manufacturing country, a short run from US-30 and US-31. First article inspection available. Set up to ship nationwide.
Capabilities
Seven CNC mills, a Haas lathe, Renishaw probing on every machine, and a climate-controlled inspection area.
Core work
Equipment
Every machine has Renishaw probing. Travels and inspection limits are quoted against the print.
| Machine | Qty | Work |
|---|---|---|
| Haas VF-4SS | 1 | 4-axis mill |
| Haas VF-3SS | 3 | 4-axis mill |
| Haas VF-2SS | 1 | 4-axis mill |
| FANUC RoboDrill | 1 | 4-axis mill |
| FANUC RoboDrill with pallet changer | 1 | 3-axis mill |
| Haas TL | 1 | CNC lathe |
Renishaw probing is on every machine.
Inspection
Renishaw probing for work offsets and in-process checks so the first part and the twentieth part start from the same setup.
Calipers, micrometers, height gage, pin gauges, gauge blocks, and an optical comparator.
At a glance
| Item | What to send | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Print / model | PDF plus STEP when you have it | Revision letter on the sheet |
| Material | Alloy and condition | Customer-supplied stock if necessary |
| Quantity | This release and yearly look | Pricing changes with lot size and tooling |
| Tolerance | Critical dimensions called out | We quote the print, not a guess |
| Finish | Anodize, plate, paint, as-machined | We will line up outside process if needed |
| Date | Need by, quick turnaround if necessary | Willing to conform to customer demands |
Send the print, material, quantity, and need-by. If a feature is critical, call it out on the sheet.
Other resources
Product development, assembly and packaging, fiber laser marking, and vibratory finishing.
Blasting and coatings of any type, plus other finish work we do not run on the floor. Call it out on the print and we will say how it gets done.
Engineering
We are a shop that will work with the print and help you get to a part that holds spec at a price that works in volume.
Call out what actually matters. Loosen what does not. Change a radius, a stock size, or a datum and the cycle time can drop without touching function.
On repeating work we will talk dedicated workholding and process tooling. The goal is simple: fewer setups, less handling, lower piece price.
Pallet work, probing, and a process that stays put. High volume only stays cheap if the shop is efficient after the first article ships.
Beyond the spindle
Machining is the center. Around it: product development, assembly, fiber laser marking, blasting, vibratory finishing, metal finishing, and anodizing. Call the finish out on the print and we will say what we run in house.
About the shop
A CNC shop built for repeating work. Tooling and engineering time only pay off if the second order shows up.
Why this site
Buyers need to know where you are, what you cut, and whether the shop wants the second order. We do.
If a dimension is critical, it should be on the sheet. We will also tell you if a change would machine cheaper at volume.
High volume and a low piece price only work with efficient setups and specialized tooling. That is the work we want to keep.
Midwest manufacturing still runs on people who pick up. The quote form is the start. The relationship is the work.
