Common Questions
Do you offer true simultaneous 5-axis machining or only 3+2 indexed positioning?
We run true simultaneous 5-axis machining — all five axes move continuously during the cut. This is a fundamentally different capability from 3+2 or indexed 5-axis, and it's what allows us to produce compound curved surfaces, bladed geometry, and complex organic forms that indexed machining cannot achieve correctly.
What materials do you machine?
We machine a full range of materials including aluminum alloys, stainless and carbon steels, Inconel and nickel superalloys, titanium (including Ti-6Al-4V), hardened tool steels, and engineering plastics such as PEEK, Delrin, and UHMW. Hard and exotic alloys are part of our regular scope of work, not a special request.
Do you take prototype and small-quantity orders?
Yes. Prototype and low-volume production runs are a significant part of what we do. We work with engineers from early development through production qualification. There is no minimum order quantity requirement.
What industries do you serve?
We serve aerospace, defense, energy and power generation, medical device, and general industrial manufacturing customers. Any application that requires complex geometry, tight tolerances, or difficult materials is a good fit for our capabilities.
Can you machine parts that other shops have turned down?
That is exactly the kind of work we are built for. If your part involves complex geometry, hard alloys, thin walls, deep pockets, or compound curved surfaces that require simultaneous 5-axis motion — contact us. We are happy to review the drawings and give you an honest assessment.
Do you offer inspection and quality documentation?
Yes.
Where are you located and do you ship nationally?
We are located in New Berlin, WI and ship finished parts to customers across the United States. Most of our customer relationships are managed remotely — drawings in, parts out. We work with customers in multiple states and time zones.
