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.
