CNC machining and turning
Design, laser cutting, metal fabrication and CNC machining are delivered under one roof at Smithfield. Our CNC machining includes milling on three and four axis platforms and turning for shafts, bushes and complex round parts. We machine prototypes, small batches and ongoing production work.
We work from STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG and PDF drawings. Read more about CNC machining in Smithfield before sending your requirements.
Laser cutting, folding and welding
Our laser cutting and metal fabrication cover steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Press brake folding and forming are combined with TIG and MIG welding, so cut parts can be formed and welded as part of the job.
Design and drawings from a sketch
A sketch, a photo, a sample or a description is enough to start. Design is done in house at our Smithfield workshop and design work is quoted as a separate one off fee.
Lead times and quantities
Up to about five parts take two to three weeks, whether made in Smithfield or sourced overseas, unless the parts are very large. Fifty to one hundred parts take four to six weeks. Five hundred or more take six to seven weeks. For overseas orders of a hundred or more, sea freight lowers the cost and adds about four weeks. Quantities between those bands are quoted individually. Every quote confirms the lead time.
How to get a quote
Send your part or project description, quantity and timeframe through our quote form. If you already have drawings, let us know what files are available. Drawing transfer is arranged after initial contact.
What affects the cost of a machined part
Material, quantity, complexity, setup, finish and tolerance affect the cost of a machined part. Small quantities cost more per part because setup is spread over fewer pieces. Complex geometry, tighter tolerances and additional finishing increase the work involved, while flexibility on material or finish can reduce the cost.
How long does a job take
