The machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. The milling process removes material by performing many separate, small cuts. This is accomplished by using a cutter with many teeth, spinning the cutter at high speed, or advancing the material through the cutter slowly. We run machines that are capable of both rotating workpiece operations (turning) and rotating-tool operations (namely milling and drilling). We have the capacity for your intricate, low volume, high quality precision pieces, as well as the mass production you are looking for. Our specialties are within our exacting tolerances with unmatched quality control that ensures high deliverable rates. We have the experience and expertise needed to produce parts using materials ranging from aluminum, alloy steel, copper, brass, iron, carbide and titanium.

A machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helical toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. The tool’s axes of movement may be literally a straight line, or they may be along some set of curves or angles, but they are essentially linear (in the nonmathematical sense). The turning processes are typically carried out on a lathe, considered to be the oldest machine tools, and can be of four different types such as straight turning, taper turning, profiling or external grooving. Those types of turning processes can produce various shapes of materials such as straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpiece. In general, turning uses simple singlepoint cutting tools. Each group of workpiece materials has an optimum set of tools angles which have been developed through the years.

As technology and manufacturing processes evolve, NMFI developed into a dominant force in non-mag and stainless alloys, drilling complex components, and tools for the oil and gas industry, including sub-assemblies, mandrels, housings, pistons, and sub-sea components. Our experienced gun drillers, machinists and engineering teams are capable of providing turn-key solutions within the high precision metal part industry. Our customers count on our expertise and creativity to complete complex jobs that most shops would turn away.
