Machining

Our machining department is the largest in the area with three HAAS vertical machines, a horizontal machining center, a lathe, a planer mill, Bridgeport, threading machine and three rack mills.

Our machining department houses 2 vertical machining centers with a maximum work envelope as follows: (x-axis up to 120’’, y-axis up to 32’’, z-axis up to 24’’), one has a 20 capacity tool holder; the other has a 30 capacity tool holder. We also have one horizontal machining center with a maximum work envelope as follows: (x-axis up to 26’’, y-axis up to 26’’, z-axis up to 26’’, 4th axis capable) and an 18 inch pallet chamber. Our manual machine inventory includes a lathe, 3 rack mills, a Bridgeport and a Bridge-type planer with a 25.5’’ x 96’’ magnetic chuck.

Complex pieces with tight tolerances are often best manufactured through the machining process. Using our extensive machining center, JD Metalworks is able to handle complex parts and deliver the highest quality available.

Machining is the process where solid sections are changed by one or more of the following processes:

• TURNING
• MILLING
• DRILLING
• SHARPENING
• PLANING
• BORING
• BROACHING
• SAWING

Using automated CNC equipment, integrated into engineering software, virtually anything is possible and efficient since multiple operations are performed by one workstation.
Let JD Metalworks build your parts quickly and efficiently.
