Instrumentation - Billet Machined Aluminum Electronics Enclosure
This electronics enclosure is machined from solid aluminum. Note the .035” thick fins protruding from the base. That is some detailed machining.

Boating - 5 Axis Billet Machined Aluminum Vent
This wakeboard boat exhaust vent shows some cool 5-axis machining capability.

Semiconductor – Winding Tooling
We designed and manufactured this tool to wind copper tubing with a constant helical lead along a constant spherical radius.

Semiconductor – Valve Component
17-4 PH Stainless - .006” Thick Webbing…Yes, it’s a wire EDM job.

Military – K-500 Monel Bolt

Automotive – Gear Shift Lever
Gear shift component for aftermarket transmission supplier.

Automotive – Test Housing

Automotive – Fuel Pump Housing
This is a billet machined prototype housing manufactured for testing purposes. A production version will be die cast.

Scientific – Precision Gear
We burned this one on our Wire EDM.

Automotive – Test Flange
This demonstrates turning and milling on a single thin-walled part.

Automotive – Test Flange

Military – Bellows
This is Navy Brass (Nickel Aluminum Bronze) Material

Food Processing – Die Assembly
This project illustrates our machining of Delrin, Nylon, and Aluminum for a 3-Piece Die Set.

Military - K-500 Monel (65% Nickel Alloy) - Seawolf Submarine Bolt
Size = 3.25” – 4 UNC Socket Head Cap Screw x 12” Long Weight = 37 lbs.
Tensile Load Capacity = >1,000,000 lbs. This bolt is so strong it cannot be pull tested so we send pedigree samples of the material to a local testing lab. Installation Torque = 11,000 Ft-Lbs…That’s a big wrench.
Automotive – Control Valve
This part has in excess of 140 certified dimensions with a bore held to .0005” straightness over 4 inches.
