Fast & Compliant: Machined Stainless Steel Parts

From impressive durability to high impact, corrosion and heat resistance, stainless steel exhibits a number of attractive physical properties which make it a well-matched fit for various applications. When considering this alloy for a project, it’s important to note that machined stainless steel parts require expert tooling and advanced machinery to ensure extreme precision. This is the case regardless of industry; and no matter the sector and project, you can count on Reading Plastic & Metal for careful, prompt and fully compliant stainless steel parts machining.

Fast & Compliant: Machined Stainless Steel Parts

The process of CNC machining stainless steel poses numerous obstacles which must be well accounted for in order to avoid damaging the parts or the machinery used to fabricate them. Here are some of the steps our experts take to overcome the challenges and deliver top-quality stainless steel parts:

• • • In our high-end machine shop, we maintain optimal sharpness of our cutting tools and replace them at the first indication of wear. This way, we prevent inconsistencies and imprecision in parts production, both of which can be detrimental to a project.
    • To avoid vibration and “chatter” – uncontrolled movement of tools which can also cause inaccuracy or inconsistency – we double-check the security of all the surface connections between tools and tool holders. We also make sure the workpiece is held firmly in place.
    • We utilize the specialized lubricants and coolants needed to control heat buildup at cutting edges, reduce wear on tools, prevent tool failure and increase cutting speed and precision.

  In addition to exercising care to maximize quality, exactness and consistency while minimizing unexpected delays and other issues, our stainless steel machinists are well qualified to build components according to strict standards.

  Over our more than 30 years in business, we’ve fulfilled parts requests for a wide array of industries for which high standards must be met, including aviation, aerospace and military. We’ve delivered machined stainless steel parts in compliance with the high standards of the FDA and the Department of Defense, as well as International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Prior to shipping, all of our parts must pass a rigorous ISO 9001:2015 certified inspection.
