Our Vertical Turning Lathes (or VTLs) hold extremely tight tolerances and are ideal for large diameter, heavy castings and forgings.
We turn diameters up to 91″ in product groups such as disc brakes, energy field parts, and pump housings; parts are made in materials ranging from grey iron to high strength hardened steels.
Our horizontal turning department is predominantly Mazak machinery capable of swinging 32″ with lengths up to 120″.
Our smaller machines swing up to 16.5″ and range from 40″ centers to chuckers capable of running parts as small as a needle valve.
Whatever your turning needs are, we can help you.

We can produce prototype and one-off runs to high volume production numbers. However, our niche remains in low volume, large part machining.
Lead time is typically 4 weeks.
We currently use Solidworks, AutoCad and Mastercam programming with direct control link. Our computer system is networked to all manufacturing phases.
Documents and file transfer via e-mail include: quotes, drawings, photos, spread sheets, 3D models/assemblies and CAD files.
Accepted drawing formats include: .igs/.iges
