Equipment and quality
What we run, and what the parts are measured on. Machine models and travel limits come with your quotation rather than sitting on a web page.

A machine list tells a buyer very little. Two shops can own the same model and hold different tolerances, because what decides the result is the fixture, the program, the tooling and whether anyone measures the part after the cut.
So the tables below are deliberately plain. What we do publish is the inspection side, because that is the part of the process a buyer can actually audit.
Machines
| Department | Equipment we run |
|---|---|
| CNC turning | CNC lathes and mill-turn machines with live tooling |
| CNC milling | 3-axis and 4-axis vertical machining centres |
| 5-axis / mill-turn | 5-axis machining centre |
| Gear cutting | CNC gear hobbing and shaping machines |
| OD grinding | Universal cylindrical grinding machines |
| ID grinding | Internal grinding spindles and quills |
| Wire EDM | Wire-cut EDM machines with automatic threading |
| Sinker EDM | Die-sinking EDM machines with orbiting control |
| Mould making | Milling, grinding, EDM and fitting benches |
| Injection moulding | Injection moulding presses with robot take-out |

Metrology
| Instrument | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Coordinate measuring machine | Position, profile and free-form geometry |
| Vision measuring machine | 2D profiles, small features, thread forms |
| Roundness tester | Roundness, cylindricity, runout and taper |
| Surface profilometer | Ra and Rz on sealing and running faces |
| Granite plate and height gauge | Flatness, parallelism, setup verification |
| Thread and plug gauges | Go / no-go verification of threads and bores |
| Micrometers and bore gauges | Sizes held through the run, not only at first-off |
| Hardness tester | Verification after heat treatment |
Exact models, travel limits and spindle hours are included with quotations. They are not published here because a model number invites comparison on the wrong axis — the fixture and the inspection plan decide whether your part comes out right.
On the floor
No stock photography and no renders. If a machine is not on this floor, it is not on this page.
