Incoming bar stock is checked against its mill certificate and heat number before it goes on a machine, so the grade on your drawing is the grade in your part.

Lead screws, pistons, rotors and shafts in 1215, 12L14 and 4140, each lot traced to its mill heat number. Upload your STEP file and drawing for a quote.
A STEP or IGES model plus a 2D drawing with GD&T gives the fastest quote, so send the files. The tolerance guide explains ground versus turned callouts.

Incoming bar stock is checked against its mill certificate and heat number before it goes on a machine, so the grade on your drawing is the grade in your part.
The first article is measured on a CMM and the report is sent to you. The batch starts only after you approve it.
Operators sample dimensions throughout the run against an AQL plan, so drift is caught at the machine and not when the lot is finished.
Every lot gets a 100% dimensional and visual check. The material certificate and inspection record ship with the parts, traceable back to the raw material.
Slender, small-diameter parts can run on Swiss turning automatics. Larger turned parts: CNC turned parts.
Still unsure about a grade or finish? Our team answers within one business day.
Ask a QuestionDiameters hold ±0.005 mm when ground and ±0.01 mm when turned. Ra 1.6 µm is the baseline surface finish, and Ra 0.4 µm can be specified on the drawing.
We turn 1215, 12L14 and 4140, plus other carbon alloys on request. 12L14 is a leaded steel, so 1215 is the choice when lead must be avoided. For corrosion-critical parts, stainless grades such as 303, 304, 316L and 17-4PH are the better starting point.
Yes. Options include hardening and tempering, case hardening, nitriding, and zinc, nickel, chrome or tin plating. These steps are scheduled with the machining and quoted together, so one lead time covers the whole chain.
Parts are cleaned, wrapped in VCI film and coated with anti-rust oil, then packed in plastic trays or bags. The inspection record and material certificate travel in the same box.
You can order a single piece. Machined prototypes take as little as 3 days or 2–3 weeks typically, with heat treatment and plating adding time confirmed on the quote. Production lots typically take 4–6 weeks.
Yes. Each lot ships with a material certificate and inspection record, and you approve a first article report before the batch is run. An NDA is available on request, before any drawing is opened.
