Literally, MILLING BY THE MILE, PRECISION SHAPES, INC's continuous milling is a process in which standard available bars or extrusions are milled to special cross sections in mill lengths of 6', 12', 20' and even 50' and longer. Many of the rigid machined bars are used in their long length, while others are cut to shorter lengths, and where needed, "Secondary" operations are performed (see below). The raw material may be comprised of conventional bar shapes, or special shapes of extruded, rolled or drawn material to which PRECISION SHAPES, INC'S process adds or refines details or tolerances not available in other processes. Wire and strip stock may be milled in coil length. This process has a unique advantage in its ability to machine shapes in materials and sizes which do not lend themselves to being suitably held for conventional machining procedures.

In addition to our specialty process, PRECISION SHAPES, INC. performs CNC machining with our 5 vertical machining centers, as well as "secondary" operations such as cut off, drilling / threading, grinding, honing etc. We have a full line of conventional machines to meet your exact specifications, and light assembly and finishes can be provided with the completed parts, whether done in house or contracted to your, or our, approved suppliers.

PRECISION SHAPES, INC. regularly machines such metals as aluminum, copper, brass, carbon, alloy & stainless steel and the "special-alloys"- titanium, monel, inconel, as well as plastics, fibre and laminated materials.
