Valve, fitting and tool components machined to hold up downhole.
Turned and milled components for wellhead, valve and downhole tooling applications, in alloy steel and corrosion-resistant stainless, with material certification on every lot.
Oil and gas hardware asks two things of a machine shop at once: a part that survives an abrasive, corrosive, high-pressure environment, and documentation that proves the material and process behind it. Valve bodies, stems, fittings, sub components and downhole tool hardware are turned and milled work almost by definition — round, threaded, bored, with flats and ports machined into an otherwise cylindrical body.
Our turning centers, several with Y-axis and sub-spindle, machine a chucked body, its ports and its flats in one setup, holding the relationship between a bore centerline and an off-axis port without a re-chuck. Larger housings and manifold bodies move to the milling department for multi-face work.
Corrosion-resistant alloys and hardened alloy steels both run regularly on our floor. Where a customer specification calls for NACE-compliant material handling or a particular heat treat condition, we coordinate the outside processing and retain the certifications against the lot.

CNC Milling
Ten vertical machining centers running prototype through production quantities, with milled features held to a standard ±.001 in and critical callouts to ±.0001 in where the print requires it.
View capability →CNC Turning
Eight turning centers, several with Y-axis and sub-spindle, so a chucked part is turned, milled, drilled and finished on the back side without leaving the machine.
View capability →Inspection & Metrology
A climate-controlled inspection lab with a ZEISS ACCURA CMM, a Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex EX, four Keyence IM image dimension systems and a fully calibrated gage library.
View capability →Turned-and-milled alloy housing with outside processing managed in-house
A housing requiring turning, Y-axis milling, tapped features, laser marking and a plated finish — previously split across three vendors, with schedule slipping at every handoff.

Oil & Gas Machining, answered plainly.
Can you machine large valve bodies and fittings?
Chucked turning work runs up to roughly 12 in in diameter and 28 in in length; larger prismatic bodies move to milling with travels up to 64 × 32 × 30 in.
Do you certify material for corrosion-resistant applications?
Yes — mill certificates are retained for stainless and alloy steel lots and supplied with the shipment on request.
Can you hold tolerance on sealing and thread surfaces?
Yes, these are treated as critical features, verified against print datums on the CMM before parts ship.
Do you coordinate heat treat for hardened components?
Yes, through approved outside processors, with certifications collected and returned with the finished parts.
