TR
Turning
Control diameters, shoulders, grooves, faces, and concentric features around a stable rotational datum.
CNC Machining
CNC machining for the castings we supply.
Our in-house machining completes drawing-based casting orders. Send the finished drawing, cast grade and quantities to review bores, faces, threads, fits and inspection. The quotation covers the casting and required machining together.

Machining scope
Match each machining operation to the feature it must control.
A process plan starts with functional datums and inspection access, then assigns the required operations. For cast blanks, review the machined casting supply condition; define critical features through the inspection plan.
ML
Milling
Machine mounting faces, slots, pockets, profiles, and hole patterns from defined setup references.
BR
Boring
Finish bearing seats, aligned bores, sealing diameters, and other internal features that control fit.
DT
Drilling and threading
Define hole position, depth, thread specification, entry condition, and inspection before production.
FX
Fixture strategy
Choose clamping points and setup sequence that protect the functional datums without distorting the part.
IN
Inspection plan
Match gauges and measurement methods to the tolerances, fits, and feature relationships on the drawing.
Machining definition before setup
Datum & tolerance review
Define datums, tolerances, and measurement before cutting starts.
The machining plan should show how the part is located, which features share a setup, where distortion may occur, and how each critical requirement will be inspected.
✓Functional datums and setup sequence
✓Bore, shaft, and concentric fit requirements
✓Flatness, parallelism, and perpendicularity
✓Thread specification, position, and depth
✓Surface finish on functional interfaces
✓Gauge, report, and sampling requirements
Machining workflow
A machining workflow built around the finished drawing.
1
Drawing & tolerance review
Identify functional datums, critical fits, threads, finishes, and inspection requirements.
2
Fixture & setup proof
Plan clamping, tool access, setup order, stock condition, and distortion control.
3
Machining & in-process checks
Machine by controlled setups and measure risk features before the next operation.
4
Final inspection & protection
Verify specified features, deburr, clean, preserve, and pack the finished components.
Machining records
Evidence that supports fit, assembly, and repeat production.
Keep the finished drawing, setup basis, in-process checks, and final results aligned to the same revision and functional datums.
Datum-controlled drawing
Identify the references that control machining, assembly, and dimensional inspection.
Setup and fixture plan
Record how the part is located, clamped, and transferred between operations.
In-process measurement
Check high-risk features before later operations make correction difficult or expensive.
Final dimensional report
Report the agreed features, measurement method, sampling basis, and acceptance result.
Frequently asked questions
Machining questions before setup approval.
Final machining acceptance should follow the controlled drawing, purchase order, and agreed inspection plan.
Can you machine castings and stock material?
We provide machining for the castings we supply. Standalone machining of customer-supplied stock or third-party castings is outside our scope. The machining route, achievable tolerances, and inspection requirements are confirmed for each part before quotation.
How do you review machining tolerances?
We review each tolerance with its datum, feature size, tool access, setup sequence, material condition, and measurement method.
Can you machine bores, faces, and threads?
Yes. Turning, milling, drilling, boring, and threading are reviewed against the drawing and inspection requirements before quotation.
What should a machining RFQ include?
Send the drawing or model, material and starting condition, quantity, critical features, surface finish, inspection scope, and delivery requirements.
Machining RFQ
Send the drawing with datums, tolerances, material, and quantity.
We will review the starting condition, setup sequence, cutter access, critical features, inspection method, finishing, and the practical quotation scope.
