CNC Machining, Wire EDM & Grinding in Columbus, Indiana
Machining, heat treating, and coating all happen in the same building, so tooling doesn't ship between three vendors and pick up transit time on each leg.
Our CNC milling and turning department produces dies, punches, form details, and production components, machined to the surface finish that polishing and coating require, before heat treat and after. Maximum part size is typically 20" × 30" × 15" for milling and 10" × 16" for turning. Larger work is possible depending on the part, so ask.
Tool design and CNC programming are in-house. Send a print, a model, or the worn part itself, and we'll quote it. Most quotes go back within 24 hours.
Line down? Call. We take rush work when the schedule allows, and we'll tell you the same day whether we can turn it.

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
Wire EDM handles the features milling can't reach: tight inside corners, hardened detail after heat treat, and profiles that have to hold form to a few tenths. We run it as stand-alone work and as the finishing operation on tooling we machine ourselves.
Cutting hardened steel after heat treat means details come out at final size, without the distortion that comes from grinding a part back into tolerance.

Manual Machining
Not every job should wait for a CNC program. Our full-time manual machinists handle fixture work, prep for the CNC machines, one-off modifications, and repairs, which keeps the CNC side free for the work that needs it.
The same department covers fabrication, weldments, surface grinding, and honing, so a tooling assembly can be built, welded, ground, and finished without leaving the shop.
