Our CNC mill handles the prismatic side of the workshop: manifold blocks, bearing housings, flanges, mounting plates and the bracketry that holds an assembly together. Working from a CAD file, a paper drawing or the worn part itself, we produce components with repeatable hole positions and consistent finish — which is what makes a batch of five interchangeable rather than five individual fitting jobs.

Most of what we mill is tied to a repair or a bespoke build rather than volume production. That suits the way the machine is set up: quick to programme, quick to re-fixture, and economic on quantities from one upwards. If you need a single housing tomorrow rather than fifty in six weeks, that is the work we are built for.

Typical work

Hydraulic manifold and valve blocks
Bearing and seal housings
Flanges, adaptor plates and spigots
Machine guarding and mounting bracketry
Replacement parts for obsolete assemblies
Jigs and fixtures for maintenance teams

CNC milling for housings, manifold blocks, flanges and prismatic parts, worked to drawing or reverse-engineered from a sample.

Talk to the engineer doing the work

Describe the part or the fault and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing. If it is not, we will say so.

What this involves

The detail of a job varies, but these are the operations that make up most cnc milling work we take on.

Machining to drawing

Supply a CAD file or a dimensioned drawing and we will work directly to it, raising any queries on tolerance or datum before we cut metal.

Reverse engineering from a sample

No drawing available? We measure the original component, including worn features, and produce a part that fits the assembly it has to go back into.

Manifold blocks and porting

Drilled and tapped hydraulic porting, cross-drilling and counterbores for manifold blocks and valve mounting faces.

Housings, flanges and plates

Bolt-hole patterns, spigots, recesses and sealing faces machined so that mating parts locate correctly first time.

Small batch repeatability

Programmed once and run as needed, so a repeat order matches the first component rather than approximating it.

Non-metallics

Nylon, PTFE and similar engineering plastics machined for seal carriers, wear rings, bushes and guides.

Enquire about cnc milling

Tell us what you have and what has gone wrong. Include dimensions if you have them, and say if the machine is currently out of service.

Other Services

Most jobs draw on more than one of these. Because everything happens in the same workshop, a part can be welded, machined and rebuilt without leaving the building.

Not sure which service you need?

Most enquiries start with a description of a problem rather than a specification. Tell us what the machine is doing and we will work out the rest.
