CNC Machining

At American Tool & Die, we specialize in CNC machining, using computer-controlled machines to create precise, high-quality parts. Our advanced CNC machining capabilities ensure we meet the most demanding requirements of modern manufacturing. 

We have a fully integrated computer network and state-of-the-art CNC machining processes that deliver the precision your application demands. When you work with American Tool & Die, you get a reliable partner dedicated to helping you succeed with your manufacturing projects.

CNC (computer numerical control) is a process where computers control machine tools to create parts and products with high precision.

In CNC machining, a computer program tells the machine exactly how to move and what to do. This ensures that each part is made exactly the same, with incredible accuracy. It’s like having a skilled craftsman but with the speed and precision of modern technology. CNC machining is perfect for producing everything from car parts to intricate components for electronics and medical devices. 

Choosing American Tool & Die means partnering with a team that has experience and expertise in producing top-notch components. We understand the importance of accuracy and efficiency in production, and our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to deliver exceptional results every time.

We meet your need for custom CNC milling, turning, and metal stamping services with an unrivaled commitment to quality. Our industrial CNC machining capabilities include:

• Detailed parts designs
• Secondary operations
• Custom one-off parts
• Production runs
• Prototypes 

American Tool & Die provides 3-axis machining with added 4-axis indexing with work envelopes up to 31” x 60” x 24”. We can accommodate larger sizes with additional setups. We handle bar feed turning from .125” – 1.25” and larger parts with ODs up to 20”, as well as hard turning. See our equipment list for more details.

CNC machining can work with a variety of materials, making it a versatile option for many different projects. Here are some of the common materials we use:

• Metals: CNC machining is great for working with metals like aluminum and tool steels. These metals are strong and durable, making them ideal for parts that must withstand a lot of wear and tear.
• Plastics: We also machine various types of plastics, which are often used when a lightweight and cost-effective material is needed. They are perfect for parts that don’t need to bear heavy loads but still require precision and durability.
• Composites: Composites are materials made from two or more different substances combined to create something with unique properties. These materials can be incredibly strong and lightweight, making them useful for specialized applications where traditional materials might not be suitable.

Because we machine a wide range of materials, we can create parts and products that meet the specific needs of your project.

Our CNC machining services are aerospace-compliant and ideal for a broad array of industries, thanks to our precision and versatility. Here are just a few of the applications where CNC machining has a significant impact:

• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Consumer Products
• Electronics
• Industrial Machinery
• Medical Devices

When you partner with American Tool & Die, you get all the advantages of CNC machining, such as:

• Precision and Accuracy: Our CNC machines are incredibly precise. They follow computer instructions to the letter, ensuring that each part is made exactly as designed. This level of accuracy is hard to achieve with manual methods.
• Efficiency and Speed: CNC machining works quickly and efficiently, producing parts much faster than traditional methods. This means shorter production times and quicker turnarounds for your projects.
• Versatility: Because our CNC machines handle a wide range of materials and tasks, they’re suitable for many different types of projects.
• Consistency and Repeatability: Once we set up a CNC machine, it can produce identical parts repeatedly. This consistency is crucial for industries where every part needs to meet strict standards.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The ability to produce large quantities of parts quickly and accurately can lead to significant savings in the long run.

Our CNC software capabilities are another advantage of working with American Tool & Die. We use CAD/CAM software packages, including Solidworks, Surfcam, and Autocad, and we keep them up-to-date with the latest versions. We handle program loading and management with our DNC software package, Cimco, which can transfer data to all CNCs simultaneously.
