Metal Tech has been working with StepNpull since early 2020, and we are proud to have manufactured over 100,000 pieces for them.
Attaching a bar feed to a lathe allows us to automate production, which significantly increases productivity and contributes to a quicker turnaround at a lower cost.
Metal Tech offers several different secondary processes for surface finishing: tumbling, DA sanding, polishing, and bead blasting.
We are skilled at machining parts with tight tolerances, strict perpendicularity requirements, and precise hole alignment.
A CNC mill is a machine used to turn raw stock, typically not cylindrical, into parts. Examples of milled parts include: housings, brackets, spacers, and hole patterns.
Y-axis milling in a live tool lathe allows us to combine multiple operations into one machine, increasing efficiency and consistency.
The use of 5-axis machines enables us to mill parts with complex shapes and geometries.
We have extensive experience producing several types of mating parts, including threaded, tapered, clevis, press-fit, and keyed joints.
Our employees are dedicated to delivering a quality product and set high standards for their work.
Our CNC services extend beyond just metal! Other materials that we are able to machine include G10, UHMW, phenolic, carbon fiber, HDPE, Delrin/acetal, nylon, PVC, and PEEK.
Through the use of CAM software, we are able to machine parts that require intricate tool paths, have thin walls, and tight corner radii.
Micrometers are another tool we use to most accurately measure tight tolerances.
One technique that we have mastered is hole pattern drilling, which is used when multiple holes - often of different sizes, depths, and dimensions - must be drilled within a very tight locational tolerance.
If your project requires mass production, we are capable of fixturing, or putting multiple parts on a fixture and running them all at once, to reduce cycle times.
Our services also cover: cnc turning and thread milling, OD/ID and NPT threads, and wrench flats.
Our automatic horizontal bandsaw can cut all types of metals and plastics.
If your stainless steel project requires cnc threading, we have the ability to machine threaded parts of various lengths and sizes.
Add driver slots, wrench flats, or a hex to any part for easier assembly in your project.
Bring us your professional blueprints or hand-drawn sketches on the back of a napkin and we will bring it to life! Or, we can replicate your existing part through reverse engineering.
Our employees are attentive and precise through every step of the process: from print, to set-up, to production, and on through delivery.
We can easily add tapped holes and threads to CNC milled and turned parts.
The use of 4th-axis indexing allows radial hole patterns and index milling.
Our customers include large corporations, small businesses, individuals, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs.
Centerless grinding is a very precise way of creating a smooth surface finish while holding parts to a tighter dimensional tolerance and minimizing linear deviation.
Calipers are one type of instrument that we use to measure all parts to make sure they are within the tolerance specified by the customer on the print.
