OUR SERViCES

Precision Machining

Precision Machining is a process to remove material from a workpiece while holding close tolerance finishes. The precision machine has many types, including milling, turning and electrical discharge machining. A precision machine today is generally controlled using a Computer Numerical Control (CNC).

Almost all metal products use precision machining, as do many other materials such as plastic and wood. These machines are operated by specialized and trained machinists.

The precision machining process involves a cutting tool that removes material from the workpiece. For the cutting tool to do its job, it must be moved in directions specified to make the correct cut. This primary motion is called the “cutting speed.” The workpiece can also be moved, known as the secondary motion of “feed.” Together, these motions and the sharpness of the cutting tool allow the precision machine to operate.

Production Machining

Once a prototype has been approved we are able to mass produce many identical copies of that prototype. The advantage to having our company mass produce your product is that our quality control department is already familiar with the aspects of your design, ensuring that every mass produced piece meets spec before being delivered to you or your end user.

Assemblies & Hardware INstalltion

Save time and money, let us handle installation of dowel pins, helicoils and keenserts so you can receive a product ready to be put to use. We can also machine and assemble multiple components to deliver a turn key product. We stock a large variety of hardware making assembly a breeze.

Prototype Development

Prototyping is the design verification phase of Product Development -- used to demonstrate or prove aspects of a design.  Prototyping is simply taking the design from the virtual, imaginary realm into the physical world. At Mills Machine Works, Inc. we will work closely with your engineers to ensure your prototype meets your blueprints the first time.

Don't have blueprints? No problem. Our team will work with you to make your vision reality. From idea to product, we will help you every step of the way.

Machine Design

Machine design can be an intensive planing process. We will work with your engineers or on our own to create a comprehensive design that will work the first time its built. The team will then hold brainstorming meetings to review the design objectives, conceptualize features and identify design approaches to the overall product construction, design of mounting features and ease of access elements. We make machines that are built to last.
