At Don's Machine Shop, Inc. we believe one of the keys to serving our customers better is to keep all of our machinery and the buildings they are in maintained and clean. We are constantly upgrading and adding new machinery to keep up with ever-changing technology.
All of our CNC machining centers, CNC turning centers, wire EDM machines, and waterjet cutting machines are directly connected to a computer system which can receive e-mailed drawings. These drawings can be converted to program format and sent via direct interface to any of these machines.
A complete listing of the capacities of our machinery can be found here
Our three EDM machines permit the precision manufacturing of any electrically conductive material of any hardness up to and including 11-1/2" x 19" x 22" with quality verified tolerances of +/-.00005".
Our 15 CNC machining centers provide a broad range of machining capabilities from high speed small machining centers up to our largest machine which has a capacity of 24" x 34" x 120"
Our 6 CNC turning centers provide the capability of machining material up to and including 25" diameter by 51" between centers with a turning length of 44". Our largest machine has a 4" bore through the spindle.
Our Mitsubishi CNC horizontal boring mill has a capacity up to and including 62" x 62" x 62".
The high rigidity, oversize colums with 4-step gear-driven spindle head provides greater stability during cutting and is capable of 0.02mm boring center accuracy and 0.01mm positioning accuracy. This unit can handle X-axis of 98.5", Y-axis of 75", Z-axis of 59" and widths of up to 28".
Our Hwacheon Sirius UL+ Vertical Machining Center for dies and molds has the ability to reach speeds of 20,000 RPM and handles up to X-axis 43.34", Y-axis of 23.62" and Z-axis of 21.65".
Our laser cutting capabilities provide high speed, high power, and incredible precision cutting of steel sheet or plate up to 1" thick, stainless steel sheet or plate up to ¼" thick, and aluminum sheet or plate up to ¼" thick.
Our three waterjet cutting machines provide highly efficient high speed cutting of any material up to 3" in thickness x 60" x 120". These machines cut with a high-pressure (40,000 - 75,000 PSI) stream of water and can hold tolerances of +/-.001.
Our 8 conventional milling machines provide access at all times capability for emergency jobs. These machines have a capacity of 18" high x 30" x 12".
Our 9 conventional lathes provide machining capabilities to 49" diameter x 20' long.
Our three cylindrical grinders provide machining capabilities up to 14" diameter x 60" long. Larger diameters and lengths can be ground in one of our conventional lathes with a grinding attachment.
Our five surface grinders provide machining capacity up to and including 15" high x 20" x 80".
Our two Hyd-Mech automatic saws provide a cutting capacity of 19" high x 19" wide. They are also programmable for cutting large quantities of the same parts.
Our two Hyd-Mech automatic saws provide a cutting capacity of 19" high x 19" wide. They are also programmable for cutting large quantities of the same parts.
Our two CNC press brakes provide bending capabilities of material 3/8" thick by 10' long. Our smaller CNC press brake provides high speed bending for large quantity runs of smaller parts.
Don's Machine Shop, Inc. also offers full welding and fabricating services. Our capabilities include high precision tig welding, mig welding, and stick welding. Our 5,000 square foot fabricating area is equipped with a 5 ton overhead crane and the following:
Our hydraulic shear can shear sheets 3/8" x 10' long.
Our press break can bend sheets 3/8" thick x 10' long.
Our 50 ton Piranha iron worker can shear, punch, and bend flat bars, angle iron, or rounds.
At Don's Machine Shop producing quality parts made to customer specifications is our top priority. Each part made by Don's Machine is inspected at each stage of machining and then inspected again before the completed part is shipped. Our large inventory of inspection equipment allows us to inspect all aspects of any part we make.
