Machining

machining custom 150x150 MachiningCustom & Production Machining

Faith utilizes both CNC machining centers and manual machines to manufacture parts per customer or internally generated drawings. Custom and short to medium length production runs are machined on our array of lathes, mills and grinders. Our welding and fabrication work stations along with press brakes and shears provide a wide variety of capabilities to manufacture simple to complex parts. The parts are made from various materials such as various grades of steel, tool steels, stainless steels, aluminum and plastics, which are either provided by the customer or purchased by Faith.

 

Precision calibrated gauges, inspection equipment and frequent part sampling ensures you get the right fit, the first time.

Our capable machinists have a great deal of experience using a range of;

  • carbon steels and alloy grades such as 1018, 1045, 1144, 12L14, 1215, 4140, 5150 & 8620
  • polymers such as UHMW, nylon & acetal/Delron
  • stainless steel alloy grades such as 304, 316, 17-4 PH & 420
  • tool steel grades such as A2, D2, O1 & S7
  • non-ferrous alloys such as Aluminum grades of 2024, 5052, 6061 & 7075, Brass grades of 360 & 464, and Bronze grades of 660 & 841
**  The materials listed are our most commonly used but are not the limit of our capabilities.

Faith has the knowledge and capabilities to repair your damaged or broken machine components, reducing your downtime. By measuring and inspecting broken and worn out parts, drawings are generated which can be used to recreate identical replacement parts. Depending on the repair work needs, some portions may be welded and machined to recreate the original part features. A great example of restoring a part to its original functionality is the welding and machining of material on a shaft that was damaged by wear from a failed bearing or seal.

Waterjet Cutting

A waterjet is a tool capable of slicing into metal or other materials (such as UHMW) using a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. Considered a “green’ technology as it does not produce hazardous waste, reducing waste disposal costs. Accurate, versatile, competitively priced cutting of almost any material…
