Custom Metal Rings: Machined, Stamped, and Forged Options
A metal ring is one of the oldest machine elements and still one of the most demanding to get right—whether it is a retaining ring holding a bearing, a spacer setting a gap, or a decorative collar on a fixture. The method that makes it cheapest depends entirely on the diameter, the tolerance, and the […]
Custom Metal Spacers: Types, Materials, and Manufacturing
A spacer looks trivial until the whole assembly depends on it holding a gap, insulating a contact, or locating a bearing at exactly the right distance. Custom metal spacers are everywhere—behind panels, between gears, around shafts, and inside electronic stacks—and the right way to make them depends on volume, tolerance, and whether they must also […]
Precision Turned Parts: Materials, Tolerances, and Sourcing Guide
Precision turned parts are the unsung heroes of every rotating assembly—shafts, pins, bushings, spacers, and connectors that have to be round, concentric, and dimensionally identical part after part. When a component spins, seals, or locates something else, turning it on a lathe is usually the fastest and most accurate way to make it. Our precision […]
Custom Jigs and Fixtures: Faster, More Accurate Production
Custom jigs and fixtures are the unsung tools that make repeatable manufacturing possible. A jig guides a cutter or tool; a fixture holds a part steady. Together, custom jigs and fixtures slash setup time, protect tolerances, and let an operator repeat a perfect result hundreds of times. For any production run beyond a handful of […]
CNC Turning Services: From Shafts to High-Volume Precision
CNC Turning Services: From Shafts to High-Volume Precision CNC turning services produce round, concentric parts—shafts, bushings, fittings, and threaded components—by spinning the workpiece against a stationary tool. It is the fastest, most economical route to high-volume cylindrical precision, and with Swiss-style sliding-headstock lathes it scales down to tiny, complex diameters. This guide covers when to […]
