About Machine Shop Services

Machine shop services use specialized equipment and machinery to remove excess material and fabricate finished parts. Some machine shop services specialize in drilling, milling, honing, boring or broaching. Others specialize in grinding, machining, or etching. Grinding services perform centerless, creep feed, double-disc, internal, external, jig or surface grinding to remove excess material. Machining services perform screw machining, Swiss screw machining, laser machining, and electro-discharge machining (EDM) processes to fabricate finished parts. Water or abrasive jet machining services are also available. Specialty machine shop services can cast or forge parts; perform thread grinding or thread rolling operations; or manufacture gears, jigs, fixtures, tools and dies. Electro-chemical machining and photo-chemical machining services can etch unstressed, high-precision parts. CNC machining or micro-machining is required for some operations.

Products & Services Related to Machine Shop Services

Centerless Grinding Services
Centerless grinding services perform a machining operation in which an abrasive wheel grinds metal from a bar surface while a regulating wheel forces the bar against the grinding wheel.
CNC Machining Services
CNC machining services use fast, repeatable, and programmable machines which can function while unattended in order to manufacture parts quickly and efficiently.
EDM Machining Services
EDM machining services remove metal by burning instead of cutting or grinding. There are three basic types of electro discharge machining (EDM) operations: electrode EDM, wire EDM, and small-hole EDM.
Lapping Services
Lapping services uses a free abrasive machining process, which produces finished components without introducing stresses and heat damage associated with other processes.
Laser Machining Services
Laser machining services use computer-controlled lasers to perform a variety of material removal processes. These lasers can be positioned and controlled with a high degree of accuracy, allowing for a variety of effects to be achieved.
Plastic Machining Services
Plastic machining services fashion or fabricate parts and components out of various plastic and thermoplastic materials.
Water Jet Machining and Abrasive Machining Services
Water jet machining services and abrasive machining services direct a jet of water and abrasive at the material to be machined.
