All the Manual Machining Services offered by Kinetic Engineering
08 March 2022The machining process continues to be popular today since many industries still maximise a wide variety of products. And so, to fulfil the needs of various industries, we at Kinetic Engineering offer machining services that can yield high-quality parts and components.
We are a proudly Australian owned and family-run machining and general engineering service company that was first established in 1984. Our services are anchored with a vision to grow within the industry and subsequently produce quality locally made products for various clients and customers. One popular service that we offer is the computer numerical control (CNC) machining service. Through CNC lathes and CNC milling machines, we can produce parts that have precise specifications and quality.
Aside from CNC machining services, we also offer a wide array of manual machining services. Some of these services are as follows:
Slotting
Slotting or shaping is a manual machining service wherein a workpiece is held on a machine table while the cutting tool moves in reciprocating action. The general purpose of this service is to cut internal forms and shapes like slots, squares, hexagons, and keyways. However, this service can also be utilised in generating external forms and shapes.
Boring and Keying
Boring is another manual machining service that is intended to make an existing hole in a workpiece larger. It utilises a cutting tool such as a drill bit in enlarging a hole, removing the material from the workpiece’s interior. Keying, on the other hand, maximises a reciprocating single-point cutting tool in generating internal forms and shapes out of a workpiece.
Screw Cutting
Screw cutting is a manual machining service wherein a screw-cutting lathe is maximised. This specific tool can easily cut accurate screw threads on a workpiece. This service is done by driving the screw-cutting lathe in a linear motion while the workpiece rotates.
Milling and Turning
Milling and turning are other manual machining services conducted by Kinetic Engineering. Milling is the process of cutting a stationary workpiece, usually a square or rectangular bar stock, through the rotating cutting tool. Turning, alternatively, is a process wherein a cutting tool is driven towards a rotating workpiece, which is made primarily out of round bar stock.
Cutting
Cutting primarily is a machining service that cuts off parts and components from a workpiece through a cutting tool. The cutting tool often moves in a straight line, ensuring that the needed parts and components can be attained effectively.
Drilling and Tapping
Two more manual machining services that Kinetic Engineering offers are drilling and tapping. Drilling is a process wherein a drill and motor are used to create a smooth hole in a workpiece. Tapping, alternatively, generates a thread into the side of a hole by using a tapping tool.
