What Is Precision Machining, and How Does It Differ From Fabrication?

Precision machining is the process of cutting, shaping, drilling, and finishing raw metal stock to produce exact parts and components. Unlike fabrication, which focuses on building and assembling structures from multiple pieces, machining is about removing material with precision to achieve a specific geometry, dimension, or surface finish.

Metal Enterprises, Inc. applies both CNC and manual machining techniques depending on the complexity, volume, and tolerance requirements of each job. The result is a finished part that fits, functions, and performs exactly as engineered.

Materials We Machine and Parts We Produce

Our shop works with a range of metals to meet diverse project requirements:

  • Steel for structural and heavy-duty mechanical components
  • Aluminum for lightweight, high-strength parts and assemblies
  • Stainless steel for corrosion-resistant components used in food, medical, and industrial environments

We produce shafts, brackets, bushings, flanges, housings, custom fittings, and one-off specialty parts. No project is too small or too specific. If your job requires a part that does not exist off the shelf, our machinists will produce it to your exact print or sample.

Quality Standards and Tolerances You Can Depend on

At Metal Enterprises, Inc., quality is not an afterthought. Every machined part is checked against the specified dimensions before it leaves our shop. We hold tight tolerances throughout the machining process, reducing the need for rework and keeping your project on schedule.

Our team brings over 40 years of hands-on experience to every job. We are fully insured, carrying a $1,000,000 general liability policy, and we operate under our Oregon CCB license number 70061 as a certified specialty metal contractor. That combination of experience and accountability is what keeps our clients coming back.
