Boring & Vertical Boring Horizontal Boring is a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipes, conduits and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path by using a surface launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area. | Broaching and Splining
Broaching is a machining process that typically used to enlarge a circular hole into a larger noncircular shape such as a square or other desired shape. Splining is the act of broaching internal and/or external ridges onto a part. |
CNC Machining CNC machining involves fast, repeatable and programmable machines which can function while unattended in order to manufacture parts quickly and efficiently.
| Drilling Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole in solid materials such a metal, wood, glass, plastic and rubber.

EDM Wire EDM Wire is an Electrical Discharge Machining method or application in which a very thin wire serves as the electrode. Special brass wires are typically used, the wire is slowly fed through the material and the electrical discharges actually cut the workpiece. | Electrochemical Electrochemical Cells are batteries that translate chemical energy into electricity. They can be found in various shapes and sizes for different applications. |
Engraving Engraving is the practice of incising a design on to a hard, usually flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. | Gear Cutting Gear cutting is the process of creating a gear. The most common processes include in gear cutting are hobbing, broaching and machining. |
Grinding Grinding is a finishing process in which a thin layer of material is removed from flat and cylindrical surfaces by means of an abrasive material which rubs against the metal part. | Honing Honing is an abrasive machining process that produces a precision surface on a metal workpiece by scrubbing an abrasive stone against it along a controlled path. |
Precision Machining
Precision Machining is a process used to produce prismatic components. It is capable of tighter tolerances and better surface finish than other machining processes. | Milling Milling is a process of cutting and shaping materials into products with milling machines.It is used to produce prismatic components. |
Saw Cutting Saw Cutting is an manufacturing process used to separate materials that uses a hard blade or wire with an abrasive edge to cut through softer materials. | Slotting Slotting involves using a mounted cutting tool with a movable table so that metal or wood can be moved back and forth for shaping, slotting, or cutting. |
Tapping Tapping involves using a machine to drill or thread holes in a surface. Tapping machines are made with a variety of specifications and function in several ways. | Thread Cutting Thread cutting is used when full thread depth is required, the quantity is small, the blank is not very accurate, threading up to a shoulder is required, threading a tapered thread, or the material is brittle. |
Thread Grinding Thread Grinding is a process usually used to produce accurate threads or threads in hard materials. It is done done on a grinding machine using specially dressed grinding wheels matching the shape of the threads. | Thread Rolling Thread rolling is a process for forming screw threads, with the former referring to creating internal threads and the latter external threads. |
