Machinery & Capabilities

Six machine groups Specification TBC [XX]+ years experience In-house where possible

Please read before quoting a machine

This is a working list of the machine groups the workshop is set up around. The full specification of each machine — sizes, travels, spindle details and capacities — is still being confirmed with the client. Every value below is therefore marked TBC rather than filled in with a guess, and will be updated once the details are verified.

If your job depends on a specific capacity, ask us directly and we will confirm it before you send drawings.

01 Machine groups

What the workshop
is built around.

Six groups of equipment covering turning, milling, manual work, material preparation, fabrication and inspection.

CNC Lathes

Programmed turning for shafts, bushes, spacers, pins and threaded parts, from single parts to repeat batches.

  • Max turning ØTBC
  • Max turning lengthTBC
  • Spindle / bar capacityTBC

Specification to be confirmed

CNC Machining Centres

Milled plates, brackets, profiles, pockets, slots, drilling and tapping, with datums planned to keep features consistent.

  • Max milling envelopeTBC
  • Spindle speedsTBC
  • Tool positionsTBC

Specification to be confirmed

Manual Lathes & Milling Machines

The machines for one-offs, awkward set-ups, rework and repairs where a hand on the handle beats a program.

  • Swing over bedTBC
  • Between centresTBC
  • Table sizeTBC

Specification to be confirmed

Sawing & Material Preparation

Bar, plate and section cut to length and prepared before machining, so material arrives at the machine ready to set.

  • Max bar ØTBC
  • Section capacityTBC
  • Cut lengthTBC

Specification to be confirmed

Fabrication & Welding Plant

Frames, guards, brackets, stands, repairs and modifications in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

  • Welding processesTBC
  • Material thicknessTBC
  • Forming equipmentTBC

Specification to be confirmed

02 Capability table

Capacities at a
glance — pending.

Every row below is waiting on verified figures from the client. Nothing here has been estimated or rounded up to look impressive.

Workshop capability summary — values awaiting confirmation
Capability Detail Status
Max turning diameter To be confirmed by the client TBC
Max turning length To be confirmed by the client TBC
Max milling envelope To be confirmed by the client TBC
Achievable tolerance Quoted per feature from the drawing TBC
Materials Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, bronze, engineering plastics — typical, subject to confirmation TBC
Typical batch sizes One-offs to small and medium batches TBC
Lead times Confirmed per job at quotation stage TBC

The table will be completed once machine specifications are verified. Ask us about a specific capacity and we will confirm it before you send drawings.

03 Tooling & inspection

Cutters, holders
and measuring gear.

Tooling and measuring equipment are listed here in outline. The specific items held, their sizes and their calibration arrangements are still to be confirmed.

Cutters & Tooling

End mills, drills, taps, inserts and turning tools — range TBC.

Holders & Workholding

Chucks, collets, vices and clamping — range TBC.

Micrometers & Calipers

Used for in-process and final checks — sizes and calibration TBC.

Gauges & Standards

Plug, thread and slip gauges — schedule TBC.

TBC — tooling, inspection equipment and calibration arrangements are awaiting confirmation from the client.

04 Limits

We would rather decline
than disappoint.

If we can't do it in-house, we'll tell you straight away and point you in the right direction.

  • 01A small workshop has real limits on size, capacity and process. Pretending otherwise wastes everyone's time.
  • 02If a job is too large for our machines, needs a process we do not run, or is simply not our trade, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
  • 03Where we can, we will suggest who or what might do it better — a specialist finisher, a larger machinist, or a different manufacturing route.
  • 04Every part we do make is measured against the drawing before it leaves, so an early no is always better than a late problem.
