CNC machining and fabrication for industry and rail
Turned, milled and fabricated parts made to drawing, from one-off prototypes and replacement parts to production runs of up to 200. Demo
PDF, STEP and DXF drawings accepted. A sketch with sizes is fine.

What we make
Machining and fabrication under one roof, so a part that needs both does not leave the workshop half done.
Demo content
-
CNC turning
Shafts, pins, bushes, sleeves and threaded parts from bar, or remade from a worn sample.
- Shafts and axles
- Pins and bushes
- Threaded parts
-
CNC milling
Brackets, plates, housings and manifolds from billet or plate, with pockets, bores and tapped holes.
- Brackets and plates
- Housings
- Manifolds
-
Fabrication
MIG and TIG welded assemblies in steel, stainless and aluminium, cut, drilled and finished.
- Frames and guards
- Mounts
- Welded assemblies
-
Repair and reverse engineering
Worn or broken parts measured, drawn up and remade, or re-bored, sleeved and rebuilt.
- Drawn from sample
- Re-bore and sleeve
- Rebuilds
Equipment and tolerances
If a part fits inside these sizes it can be made here. If it is close, ask.
