MANUAL MACHINING

Bridgeport Mill

Hole Making: Precise drilling, boring (enlarging holes to exact specifications), and tapping (adding threads to pre-drilled holes).
Contouring: Shaping intricate and irregular 3D surfaces into a workpiece with tight tolerances.
Specialized Tasks: When used with attachments (like an indexer or rotary table), it can cut gears, mill keyways, and even perform chamfering and radius milling.

Partner Machines Manual Lathe

Bushing & Bearing Seat Creation: We can bore internal diameters with extreme accuracy, creating the perfect press-fit for bushings, bearings, and sleeves.
Custom Threading (Inch & Metric): Our lathes feature universal gearboxes to cut a vast range of internal and external screw threads, including specialized pitches for vintage or international machinery.
Taper Turning: We can create conical shapes, such as tapered pins or machine spindles, by adjusting the lathe's compound rest or using a taper attachment.
Knurling for Grip: We can add diamond or straight-pattern textured finishes to handles, knobs, and tool grips for improved ergonomics and aesthetics.
Part Restoration & Refurbishment: If a critical part is worn out or no longer manufactured, we can "tru up" the surface or fabricate an identical replacement to keep your equipment running.
