Brands I have worked with...
CNC Fabrication Services
CNC Folding
The CNC press brake is capable of producing a diverse and complex range of bends. Programming and tools set up ensure consistent accuracy and quality of components .
Machine Capacity
Folding: 2.5mm
Job Size: 1000mm
CNC Milling & Lathing
The CNC machining centres with automatic tool changers, produce complex shapes and profiles with high accuracy.
Lathe Capacity
Lathe Tool Positions: 12
Max. cutting length: 685mm
Spindle Bar Capacity: 65mm
Milling Capacity
Milling Capacity:
Accuracy: 0.01mm
Job Size: 750mm x 500mm
CNC Punching
With a hit rate of up to 1,200 strokes per minute the turret punch is extremely fast and reliable. Once programmed it can repeat the same punch process many times with no loss of quality or accuracy. The machine can add countersinks, embossments, extrusions, and louvers.
Machine Capacity
Punching: 6mm
Job Size: 1000mm x 2000mm
MIG & TIG Welding
A good weld is vital for integrity of the product. Designing the correct weld joint is important for cost, strength and visual appearance. Selecting a correct joint and welding process for the job, while considering accessibility is critical when designing a welded product.
​
I am able to offer MIG & TIG welding. Happy to provide advice on the best approach during your design stages.
3D Design & Development
Design and development assistance is available for different stages of your project. If, however, all you have is a sketch, I offer 3D service to get you ready for production.

Techniques, Materials & Finishes
Techniques
I use my machines in a non-conventional way and push them to their limits to achieve beautiful cuts and sharp folds.
​
A precision fold offers a sharp edge where the inside radius is 0mm. An average fold achieves inside radius of 4mm, which gives you a rounded fold.
Materials
Aluminium, stainless and mild steel are materials I predominantly work with. For more decorative and high end projects, brass, copper and bronze are available.
I am happy to advise for additional properties such as corrosive resistance, hardness and weight to strength ratio.
Finishes
I can offer a range of finishes such as powder coating, spray painting, chrome nickel and zink plating and anodizing.
​
I work with hand picked suppliers and collaborators to produce finishes to your specification.
