When it comes to machining high-quality parts and components, Hillside Custom is a true leader in the industry. With a team of skilled machinists and engineers work tirelessly to ensure that every part they create meets the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
What is Machining?
Machining is one of the various types of manufacturing processes where the desired shape or part is acquired by removing material from a bigger workpiece -based raw material, typically metal -via a controlled cutting operation. In effect, this is one of the many subtractive manufacturing processes as opposed to additive types like 3D printing.
This manufacturing process uses machine tools such as lathes, mills, drill presses, and grinders, which cut, bore, drill, or grind the workpiece into the desired shape and dimensions with the utmost precision. There is relative motion between the cutting tool and the workpiece. Material is removed from the workpiece by the tool in a very controlled manner to attain the desired geometry and surface finish.
Types of Machining Services Offered
Hillside Custom offers a wide range of machining services to cater to the diverse needs of their clients. Here are some of the key machining processes they specialize in:
1. CNC Machining
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is one of Hillside Custom’s core competencies. Their advanced CNC machines can precisely cut, drill, and shape various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. CNC machining allows for intricate designs and tight tolerances, ensuring consistent and accurate results.
2. Milling
Milling is a crucial machining process that involves removing material from a workpiece using rotating cutting tools. Hillside Custom’s milling capabilities include both vertical and horizontal milling, enabling them to create complex shapes and features with exceptional precision.
3. Turning
Turning, also known as lathe work, is a machining process that involves rotating a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create cylindrical or conical shapes. Hillside Custom’s turning services are ideal for producing shafts, spindles, and other cylindrical components with tight tolerances.
4. Grinding
Grinding is a finishing process that uses abrasive wheels to remove small amounts of material from a workpiece, achieving a smooth and precise surface finish. Hillside Custom’s grinding services are essential for applications that require exceptional surface quality and dimensional accuracy.
In-House Machining Capabilities
What sets Hillside Custom apart is the commitment to in-house machining. Unlike many other companies that outsource their machining needs, Hillside Custom has invested in state-of-the-art machinery and equipment to handle the entire manufacturing process under one roof.
By keeping their machining operations in-house, Hillside Custom can maintain complete control over quality, lead times, and costs. This vertical integration allows them to respond quickly to customer demands, make adjustments on the fly, and ensure that every part meets their stringent quality standards.
Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction
At Hillside Custom, quality is not an afterthought, but a way of life. Their team of skilled machinists and quality control specialists meticulously inspect every part they produce, ensuring that it meets or exceeds industry standards and customer specifications.
Customer satisfaction is also a top priority. Working closely with clients to understand their unique requirements and provide personalized solutions tailored to their needs ensures that everything meets and exceeds expectations.
Whether you need a one-off prototype or large-scale production runs, Hillside Custom has the expertise and resources to deliver exceptional results. Contact us today to learn more about our machining capabilities.
