Custom Machining Services: Machine Turning and Milling


Machine Turning is a process of removing material from a workpiece by rotating it against a cutting tool. It is used to produce cylindrical parts, such as shafts, bolts, and bushings, and is suitable for a range of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Projects Incorporated's Custom Machining Services can handle a range of Machine Turning projects, from small-scale to large-scale, including high-precision turning work. They have a team of skilled machinists who use the latest technology and equipment to deliver high-quality work within the specified timeframe.

Milling is a process of removing material from a workpiece using rotary cutters. This process is used to create complex shapes and features on the workpiece, such as slots, pockets, and contours. Projects Incorporated's Custom Machining Services offers both vertical and horizontal milling services. Vertical milling is suitable for producing parts with a higher degree of accuracy and is ideal for producing parts with intricate features. Horizontal milling is used to produce large parts, such as engine blocks and machine bases.

Our CNC Milling & Turning FAQ

  • CNC machining is an efficient form of subtractive manufacturing, allowing us to create precise and intricate parts by selectively removing material. It enables the creation of components from many materials like metals, plastics, wood or composites with greater efficiency than other methods such as injection molding or additive manufacturing. CNC machining has become a versatile tool for creating complex shapes in varied industries — opening up possibilities that didn't exist before!

  • Skilled machinists have long provided the backbone of many engineering and manufacturing processes, relying on their expertise to create custom pieces from metal according to precise specification. Utilizing sophisticated tools such as hardened steel cutters and industrial diamond drills, they form parts with accuracy ensured through meticulous measurements. Nowadays however, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are taking over this function using automated codes developed by programmers instead of manual control by a human operator – bringing more efficient production times while maintaining precision quality in the output.

    Computer numerical control (CNC) machining has transformed modern manufacturing, fabrication and industrial production with its unparalleled precision. Using mathematical coordinates powered by computing technology, CNC utilizes the Cartesian coordinate system to automate cutting tools in exact accordance with designers’ digital drawings. This remarkable process ensures maximum accuracy for whatever project is at hand!

  • At Projects Inc, we take quality seriously, and our CNC machining services are backed by a range of inspection options to ensure precision and adherence to your specifications. Our inspection methods include:

    Manual Inspection: Skilled technicians perform visual inspections and measurements using precision instruments such as calipers, micrometers, and gauges. This method is effective for verifying dimensions, surface finish, and general quality.

    Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): We utilize state-of-the-art CMM technology to capture 3D measurements with incredible accuracy. CMM inspections are ideal for complex geometries and critical tolerance components.

    Optical Inspection: Our optical inspection systems use advanced imaging technology to examine intricate details, detect surface defects, and ensure the integrity of fine features.

    Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): For critical applications, we offer NDT techniques such as ultrasonic testing and dye penetrant inspection to identify hidden flaws in materials without compromising their integrity.

    Statistical Process Control (SPC): We implement SPC methodologies to monitor and control the CNC machining process in real-time, ensuring consistent quality throughout production runs.

    First Article Inspection (FAI): Prior to full production, we can perform a comprehensive FAI to verify that the initial parts meet all specifications and requirements, providing peace of mind before large-scale manufacturing.

    Customized Inspection: Depending on your project's unique needs, we can develop customized inspection plans and procedures to address specific quality criteria and standards.

    Rest assured, our commitment to quality control extends throughout every stage of the CNC machining process. By choosing Projects Inc, you can count on reliable, accurate, and meticulously inspected parts for your projects.

    If you have any further questions or specific requirements regarding our inspection options, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team. We're here to assist you in achieving the highest quality results for your CNC machining projects.

CNC Machining Applications

Rapid Tooling

Rapid tooling is a cost-effective and time-efficient process used in CNC machining applications to create molds and tooling for low volume production. It involves creating a prototype of the desired part using 3D printing or other rapid prototyping techniques and then using CNC machining to create a mold or tooling. The mold or tooling can then be used to produce parts in low volumes. Rapid tooling reduces the time and cost involved in traditional mold-making processes and enables the creation of complex and intricate parts.

Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping is a cost-effective and time-efficient process used in CNC machining applications to create physical models of a part or product design using 3D printing or other rapid prototyping techniques. It enables the testing and evaluation of the design for form, fit, and function before moving to mass production. Rapid prototyping reduces the time and cost involved in traditional prototyping processes and enables the creation of complex and intricate parts.

End-Use Production

End-use production is a process used in CNC machining applications to produce final parts or products with high precision and accuracy. It enables manufacturers to produce high-quality parts or products with consistency and repeatability, reducing the risk of errors and defects. End-use production can be used to produce a range of products in large quantities, reducing the overall cost per unit.
