Vertical Milling Services
Tolerance Masters offer borth horizontal and vertical milling services up to full 5-axis capabilities.
Operating in a 25″ x 27″ x 60″ work envelope, we use high speed steel, carbide, carbon steel, and cobalt HSS cutting tools including flat end and ball end mills, chamfer, face, and twist mills, reamers and taps. Our machines feature spindles and chucks, with variable spindle speeds, power-operated table feeds, and high-speed machining.
We are experienced in 3D part modeling for prototypes and specialty jobs. Some typical products we mill include turbine, hydraulic components, and other cubed products. Contact us today to learn more about our milling capabilities.
