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.
