Machining Capabilities

CNC TURNING - Turning (CNC) operations are performed on precision computerized numerically controlled lathes. On our Hardinge “Conquest 42’s”, are capable of holding extremely close tolerances of +/-.0001", and with multiple machines we are capable of expediting your job in a timely and precise manner. Utilizing CAD CAM aids us in running your job quickly and efficiently.

CNC MILLING - Milling (CNC) operations are performed on precision computerized numerically controlled vertical machining centers. Our FADAL 4020HT VMC's have location repeatability of +/- .0001" and can contour at 375 inches per minute accurately. We machine at 10,000 rpm on a regular basis to get you your parts without delay. Rigid tapping can also be performed up to 3000 rpm with depth repeatability at +/-.0005. Our machines will also engrave and serial number your parts at a fraction of the time of an engraving shop.

CONVENTIONAL TURNING & MILLING - Production at Steer varies from simple to complex machining, utilizing conventional machinery includes; standard engine lathes and milling machines. Our engine lathes vary in size from 12"SW X 24" to 32"SW X 74". Manual milling capabilities range from standard Bridgeport to large K&T horizontal and vertical mills.

SINGLE POINT THREAD CUTTING - At times the Manu-Cycle threading lathe is more cost effective than CNC and just as accurate. With a 3" spindle bore we produce acme or standard 60 degree threads of varied lengths in just about any pitch. This machine produces a phenomenal cut thread and some of our customers have told us the threads are ground quality.

WELDING - Large 5' X 12' Acorn welding platen. We MIG, TIG, or Arc steel and aluminum every day. See our brochure for some of our large and smaller parts.

SAW CUTTING - Automatic production saw cutting in within +/-.010. For cutting high volume accurately which means less waste and faster machining time, saving the customer money.
