Frequently Asked Questions
American Alloy provides CNC machining capabilities including 5-axis machining, CNC milling, CNC turning, and finish machining. These capabilities support complex components, precision parts, cylindrical components, and fabricated assemblies requiring critical machined features.
5-axis machining moves the cutting tool and workpiece along five axes, allowing complex geometries, compound angles, and multi-sided features to be machined with fewer setups. Through 5-axis machining, American Alloy can improve feature alignment and reduce the handling associated with repositioning a part across multiple operations.
CNC milling is used to machine custom components with features such as pockets, holes, mounting surfaces, contours, and other precision geometries. CNC milling is commonly used at American Alloy for prototype parts, custom components, fixtures, tooling, and production machining.
American Alloy’s CNC turning is commonly used for cylindrical and rotational components such as shafts, bushings, housings, pins, and other precision turned parts. This process allows for accurate and repeatable production of parts requiring precise diameters and profiles.
Finish machining is the process of machining critical surfaces or features after a part has been fabricated or welded. American Alloy provides finish machining to create precision mounting surfaces, bores, holes, and alignment features on large fabricated assemblies and machined weldments.
American Alloy provides precision CNC machining for components requiring tight tolerances across a range of machining processes. Our 5-axis CNC machining capabilities can hold tolerances down to ±0.0005″ for appropriate applications. Our vertical CNC milling capabilities typically hold tolerances ranging from ±0.002″ to ±0.005″, while CNC turning can achieve tolerances ranging from ±0.0005″ to ±0.005″, depending on the part and application. With 20+ machining centers, including 14 vertical CNC mills, 6 CNC turning lathes, and 5-axis milling capabilities, American Alloy can machine components up to 120″ × 36″ × 28″. Actual achievable tolerances depend on factors such as part geometry, material, feature requirements, part size, and the specific manufacturing process required.
