Machining & Capacity Guide

We can manufacture components in excess of 20 metres to the tightest of tolerances and turn up 100 tonnes. With 5 axis milling up to 80 tonnes.

Equipped with

• Vertical Boring
• Horizontal Deep Hole Boring
• Honing
• Milling
• Turning
• Drilling Machines
• Balancing
• Sawing

The objective of rough machining is to remove any excess material and add further value. Our vast range of roughing equipment is capable to at work high speed and feed rates with a large depth of cut, in order to get the best material removal rate in conduction with accuracy.

Once rough machined also known as pre-machined, we then provide finish machining for products ready for industry. Finish machining improves the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the product which are then finished and ready to fit.

We have the largest borer in Europe, deep hole boring lengths of 20m metres. Designed for precision deep hole boring using tools including gun drills and BTA to improve accuracy, size range and efficiency.
With 3 & 5 axis CNC milling machines, we utilise computerised controls to machine parts along multiple axes simultaneously. CNC milling enables complex products to be machined with a single setup increasing productivity and ensuring superior surface finish.

We specialise in the finish machining and refurbishment of ship propulsion shafts, including supply and fitting of reinforcing sleeves, bronze, stainless steel or nickel alloy liners and GRP coating. In addition, we carry out a variety of specialise operations including bearing and bolt fitting, shrink fitting, re-fitting and weld repair work to meet specific customer requirements.

We are the first forge in the UK to gain ABS Approval to weld clad shafts, we hold the skills and expertise to weld clad tail shafts for both stainless steels and nickel-based alloys. We also have the capability to clad propeller shafts as well as many other components across multiple sectors.
