Precision Machining & Engineering Works

Custom precision machining, component development and prototype manufacturing for one-off and low-volume engineering requirements.

Beyond complete tools, we take on precision machining as a standalone job — tooling components, spares, prototypes and low-volume production runs where the accuracy matters more than the quantity.

This is the same equipment and the same people that build our own tooling, so the work is held to tool-room standards rather than general fabrication standards.

What we build

Tooling we make

  • Tooling components, plates, punches and die inserts
  • Prototype and first-article components
  • Replacement and spare parts for existing tooling
  • Low-volume production machining
  • Reverse engineering from a sample part
  • Precision ground plates and blocks to size

Process

From your drawing to a working tool

  1. Drawing or sampleWe work from a drawing, a 3D model, or a physical sample.
  2. Method and quoteRoute, workholding and finish confirmed before we start.
  3. MachiningWire EDM, VMC, grinding, turning and milling as the part requires.
  4. InspectionChecked against your drawing before despatch.

Questions

Common questions

Will you machine a single component?

Yes. One-off tooling spares and prototypes are routine work for us. Small quantities are not a problem.

Can you machine hardened material?

Yes — wire EDM cuts hardened tool steel to profile, and surface grinding finishes hardened faces to flatness and parallelism.

Can you work from a sample rather than a drawing?

Yes. We reverse-engineer from a physical part and produce a drawing for your approval before machining, so you end up owning the drawing as well as the part.

A real engineer reads it — not an autoresponder. We will tell you whether the tool can be built as drawn, and what we would change to bring the cost down.
