We offer competitive pricing and we are pleased to offer volume discounts. In the unlikely event we come across something we can’t make, we’d be happy to point you to one of the many shops we work with across the country.

Swiss turning CNC machines were born out of Swiss watchmakers’ need to manufacture complex parts with high precision, tight tolerances, and repeatability. A Swiss lathe’s design feeds material through a guide bushing and past the tooling, which provides maximum part support, lessening deflection and vibration and thus contributing to its ability to hold tight tolerances on long turns while achieving superior surface finishes. Simultaneous back-working and cross-working operations decrease cycle time by allowing for combined milling and turning operations in one machine with one set-up.

Schaffner Machine Company specializes in standard and ACME rolled threads. We work with outside diameters up to 1" on standard threads and 3/4" on ACME threads. We can thru-feed bars up to 14' in length or add as little as 3/16" of thread to your part with in-feed thread rolling. As your complete machining solution, we can provide CNC turning and milling services for secondary operation on your threaded parts. Whether you need a dozen custom threaded eye-bolts or thousands of turnbuckles SMC is your complete thread rolling solution.
