Our Shop is outfitted to bring your project From start to finish under one roof
In addition to specialty services like gun drilling, 5-axis machining and sinker EDM, our machining capabilities include vertical and horizontal milling. We have mills that can take on mold manufacturing jobs up to as much as 22,000 pounds. Our shop is stocked with enough CNC mills to complete a large volume of projects of widely different alloys, sizes, and ranges of complexity.
We believe in keeping a project in-house from the first cut through to the final finishing inspection. A combination of the right equipment and experienced professional machinists allows us to turn out some of the most intricate molds and machined parts at the tightest tolerances possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a horizontal CNC machine?
Horizontal CNC machines use a horizontally orientated spindle to shape flat surfaces. Horizontal machines are used in milling operations for the creation of shapes, slots, holes and details of three-dimensional parts.
What is CNC vertical machining?
CNC vertical machining is where a milling machine has vertically oriented spindles to perform plunge cuts and drilling. Vertical machines move along a vertical work plane while fabricating custom shapes, slots, holes and details of three-dimensional parts.
What is the difference between VMC and HMC?
The main difference between vertical machining centers (VMC) and horizontal machining centers (HMC) is the orientation of the spindles. VMCs feature a vertically orientated spindle that performs cuts downward over a vertical plane, whereas HMCs feature a horizontally oriented spindle that cuts downward over a horizontal plane.
