3 and 4-axis CNC milling and 5-axis CNC turning, supporting single prototypes and repeat production runs.
Our shop in Chilliwack started as an Aerospace R&D facility and has now grown to offering CNC machining to all kinds of industries and companies across Canada. We are setup for 5-axis CNC mill-turning, 3 & 4-axis CNC vertical milling, and standard CNC turning.
We take on single prototypes through to full production runs, and we'll tell you which approach gets your part made most efficiently. Whatever the shape, the volume, or the complexity, send it over and we'll find a way to cut it.
Vertical machining with 3-axis and 4-axis capability.
Dimensions are in INCHES.
5-axis live tool mill-turning and standard 2-axis turning.
Dimensions are in INCHES.
The default for brackets, enclosures, and anything where weight matters.
Where corrosion or strength drives the design.
Structural and wear parts, shafts, and hardened tooling.
Fittings, bushings, and electrical hardware.
Delrin, UHMW, nylon, and polycarbonate for wear pads, bushings, insulators, etc.
We normally source material as part of the job, so you get one price and one lead time. Customer-supplied stock can be accomodated if it meets the job requirements. Needing something unusual is not a problem, it just needs to be flagged early.
Parts can leave here anodized, galvanized, powder coated, painted, or bead blasted. Bead blasting and tumbling are done in-house. Other specialty coatings go through our partners, and we manage that step so you only have to deal with us.
Milling up to 30" x 30" x 16" in a single CNC operation, with extreme flexibility for larger parts across multiple operations and in manual setups. CNC turning to a 14" swing over bed and 30" between centers. If your part sits near those limits, ask anyway.
Tolerances are quoted per job, because what's achievable depends on the feature, the material, and how the part has to be held. Call out the critical dimensions on your drawing and we'll build the setup, tooling, and inspection around them. If a print doesn't specify, we'll confirm what we're working to before anything gets cut.
STEP and IGES models, SOLIDWORKS and Fusion files, and DXF, DWG, or PDF drawings. A hand sketch with dimensions works too, and so does the part itself if there is no drawing. Not sure what you have? Send it over and we'll sort it out.
Yes, and plenty of customers do when they have stock on hand or need a specific mill certification. Otherwise we source it as part of the job so you get one price and one lead time. Either way, flag anything unusual early, because material availability sets the delivery date more often than the machining does.
Setup time, tolerance, material, and quantity, roughly in that order on a short run. The same geometry in two setups costs less than in four, a tolerance tighter than the function needs adds inspection and scrap risk, and a second part is cheaper than the first because the program and fixturing already exist. We'll tell you which of those is moving your number before you commit.
It depends on the part, the material lead time, and what is already on the machines, so we quote it per job rather than publishing a number which is always changing. Rush and overnight work is normal here, supporting you when a part has failed and a line is down. Give us the date you need and we'll be honest about whether it is possible.
Attach a model, a drawing, or a photo of what you need. We'll come back with questions or a number, within a few hours for urgent work and within a day for others.
