Our materials

THE RIGHT METAL,
WELL MACHINED.

We machine the industry's common metals — steel, aluminum, stainless, brass and copper. The right material for the right part, with the cutting parameters to match.

Material Common alloys Characteristics Typical applications
STEEL 1018 · 1045 · 4140 · A36 Strong, economical, machinable and weldable Shafts, brackets, structural and machine parts
ALUMINUM 6061-T6 · 6063 · 7075 Light, good machinability, corrosion-resistant Housings, light brackets, prototypes, fixtures
STAINLESS STEEL 303 · 304 · 316 · 17-4 PH Corrosion-resistant, hygienic, durable Exposed parts, food-grade, wet environments
BRASS C360 · C260 Excellent machinability, low friction Fittings, bushings, valve components
COPPER C101 · C110 Electrical and thermal conductor Electrical components, heat sinks, connectors

STEEL

1018 · 1045 · 4140 · A36

The shop's workhorse. Strong and versatile, from machine brackets to drive shafts.

ALUMINUM

6061-T6 · 6063 · 7075

Light and easy to machine. Ideal for prototypes, housings and weight-sensitive parts.

STAINLESS STEEL

303 · 304 · 316 · 17-4 PH

For what has to resist corrosion and last. Exposed parts and demanding environments.

BRASS

C360 · C260

Exceptional machinability. Precision fittings, bushings and valve components.

COPPER

C101 · C110

Conductor of choice. Electrical components, connectors and heat sinks.
