Drilling

At TPW we offer a diverse set of drilling services capable of producing high-quality metalwork across a range of thicknesses. Drilling is a critical part of any steel fabrication process which is why TPW only uses the highest quality equipment and employs the most skilled fabrication operatives. With engineering and construction projects becoming more complex and plentiful by the day, achieving high standards of bolting and joining has never been more important

Manual Drills

For more bespoke architectural metal work, we employ a range of manual drilling process which is well suited to custom designed products such as balconies, balustrades, staircases, canopies and pipes.

What Makes Good Metal Drilling ?

At TPW Engineering we have benefited from over six years experience fabricating architectural metal works and structural steelwork. What sets us apart from other fabricators is the impressive attention to detail that we exercise when undertaking any drilling work.

Our Drilled Metal Process Always

  • Produces smoothly debarred holes.
  • Uses industry leading drill bits made from the highest quality titanium, vanadium and cobalt.
  • Is carried out at a steady but slow speed as to reduce the chance of inaccuracy.
  • Involves the correct amount of lubricant.

Turning

TPW is dedicated to offering new product developers the most advanced precision turning services to complete any project. We use only the finest machine lathes and imported cutting tools in our workshop. And of course careful inspection at every step ensures compliance with your specifications. Your turned parts are further complemented with our complete in-house manufacturing and finishing services. We’re proud to offer you a complete turn-key product development solution using precision lathes and turning centres.

What Kind Of Materials Can Be Turned?

While potentially any solid, stable material can be turned, we work with hard plastic and metals such as aluminium, many kinds of mild and stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, brass, copper, and other alloys.

Note that some tool steel maybe too hard to cut on a lathe or mill or else will require special treatment and a longer production time. Soft elastomers or plastics may also be impossible to turn since they cannot be held in a fixed position or would change in shape under the pressure of the cutting tool.

Shaping

TPW specializes in high quality & cost efficient vertical shaping & slotting services for a variety of industries. Shaping (sometimes called slotting) is a machining process whereby a work piece is held on the machine table, which is then advanced into the path of a reciprocating ram, upon which is mounted a single-point cutting tool. Shapers are typically used to cut internal shape and forms, such as keyways, slots, squares, hexagons, and straight-sided splines. Slotting can also be used to cut external shapes and forms as well

Milling

Milling is the process of removing material from a solid blank to create a finished or semi-finished shape. The process is guided by your design File, optimized to create a physical copy of your digital design.

TPW dedicated team oversees the Milling Process to add or refine features on parts that were manufactured using different processes such as

  • Face Milling
  • Profile Milling
  • Angular Milling
  • Keyway Milling
  • Slitting
  • Gear Cutting

Surface & Cylinder Grinding

Surface grinding is a finishing process that uses a rotating abrasive wheel to smooth the flat surface of materials to give client a close tolerance dimension as well as a more refined finish. The surface grinding capability allows us to hold very close, precision tolerances.

Surface & Cylinder grinding includes several different processes used to achieve more precise dimensions by removing small thicknesses of material from a metal part surface. These processes include double-disc grinding, creep grinding, surface grinding, Blanchard grinding, and several others.

When it comes to metal precision grinding services, TPW are the proven experts. We use advanced technology, specialized grinding media, wheels and a variety of grinding techniques to achieve the tolerances and surface finish your metal parts require.
