Depending on the part’s shape and requirements custom machined parts might be made on a lathe, a milling machine, a stamping press, a press-brake, a precision shear, or machined on a myriad of other types of precision equipment. In many cases a custom machined part might pass through many of the operations listed before being finished. Although custom machined parts are typically more expensive than a mass-produced method, quite often the higher price is justified due to the fact that custom machined parts are generally more accurate, offer higher strength and/or integrity and can be made much faster than most other methods.
Machining processes explained
Machining is the process of removing material on a workpiece in order to create a precise object or part. The following are the primary processes used to cut and subtract material in a machine shop by a machinist.
JM Hardware® provides the following processes：
Turning is a process that rotates the workpiece as the primary method of moving metal against the cutting tool. Lathes are the principal machine tool used in turning.
Milling uses a rotating cutting tool to bring cutting edges to bear against the workpiece. This is the most versatile tool and technique used in a machine shop.
Drilling creates a new hole or refines an existing hole using a rotating cutter. Drilling is most commonly done using drill presses, but sometimes drilling tools will be attached to compatible lathes or mills to create holes.
Boring is one of the most widely used techniques in machining, as it is one of the most reliable ways to finish and enlarge pre-existing holes. This technique provides accuracy and is easily replicated on a workpiece.
Reaming is a process that uses a rotary cutting tool to smooth an existing hole in a workpiece. This is a cutting process that removes material, and its primary purpose is to even out the walls of a hole.
Machining techniques at JM Hardware®
There are two main techniques when it comes to machining operations: subtractive and additive manufacturing. These techniques are used by a machinist to either take away or add material to a part.
Subtractive
Machining is a prototyping and manufacturing process that creates the desired shape by removing unwanted material from a larger piece of material. Since a part is built by taking away material, this process is also known as subtractive manufacturing.
Additive
Additive machining, also known as 3D printing, is a newer approach to production that enables the construction of a three-dimensional object from a digital model. It allows the machinist to create lightweight and strong parts.
JM Hardware® specializes in precision machining of castings, forgings, and bar stock in a wide variety of materials including : steel, stainless steel,brass, bronze, aluminum, gray iron and ductile iron.We serve several industries including: industrial, military , medical，petroleum，automotive, aircraft and recreational .
Using the very latest in high-tech equipment, we can handle a multitude of parts with complex data schemes, down to basic machining characteristics.
