Metal Machining

Over the past 10 years, Proficient Sourcing has built a network of shops with capabilities to cover almost any metalworking requirement you might have for both machining and fabrication, whether large or small or somewhere in between. Our mission is to offer candidates for your needs and do so FAST. Below is just a quick sample of what awaits your inquiry:

If you need micro machined parts, we have 2 candidates for such work. Examples would be DOD parts, aerospace and/or medical devices.  CNC Swiss Micro-Machines can handle from .004″ up to 1.625″ diameter in just about any length.  The Swiss-type CNC machines can mill, cross-drill, knurl, thread, crimp, and even more all right on the lathe. With tolerances as tight as +/- .0001, there’s often no need to perform secondary operations after machining is complete.

Our machine shop network contains a dozen shops with combinations of boring mills, milling and turning centers, including several with 5-axis machining. Many of these shops are ISO certified; some are AS, TS and others are minority owned, in hub zones, or disabled vet owned. We also have several sheet metal fabricators with a wide range of secondary capabilities such as stamping, painting, and even silk screening.

At the large fabrication end of the scale, one company with a 6000 watt laser has just installed a 1500 ton x 30’ long press brake with 26’4” between the housings. We have 2 companies that can roll heavy plate up to 13’ long with multi-radius bends and flats between bends.

If rolling is desired, we have an excellent source for pressure vessels, distillation columns, and most kinds of tanks with or without jackets.

If you need very large items machined or ground, gantry milling is available up to 88 feet in length, 14 feet wide, and 10 feet high. Such mills have precision readouts with positioning to 0.0005” This same company has several housing grinders, with up to 123” x 315” capability.

These capabilities are particularly tuned to the needs of equipment and machinery builders—large weldments are a particular specialty for several of these shops.

We probably have an excellent candidate or more for whatever your machining and fabrication needs might be. Just give us a call (513) 489-5252 or email charte@proficientsourcing.com. We are ready when you are.
