We’re a bunch of machinists who love boats and hate downtime. If you just typed “brass CNC turning for marine components” into Google, chances are you need parts that survive salt spray, look sharp, and ship yesterday. Pull up a chair, grab a coffee, and let us show you how we make that happen—every single day.
1. The gear: machines that don’t flinch at brass
Walk past our shop and the first thing you’ll notice is the hum—not the clatter of old lathes, but the low, steady song of six-axis CNC turning centers.
• All spindles are liquid-cooled to keep 464 naval brass at the perfect temp, so threads stay burr-free without a second pass.
• Live-tooling heads mill keyways, cross-holes, and flanges in the same setup—cuts total lead time by 38 %.
• Each machine talks to a cloud-based QC dashboard in real time. If a dimension drifts, the tool offsets itself before the second part hits the chuck.
2. The craft: where tolerances meet tide tables
Brass loves to grab tools and gall. We solved that by tweaking feeds, speeds, and a custom micro-mist coolant that smells faintly of coconut (our machinist Jorge swears it keeps morale high).
Typical tolerance we hold? ±0.02 mm on propeller shaft sleeves—tight enough to keep your seal from weeping, relaxed enough that we can still quote a fair price.
3. The checklist: quality you don’t have to think about
Incoming bars → PMI alloy check → first-article CMM scan → 100 % air-gauge bore inspection → salt-spray test coupons for every batch.
We log the serial number of the brass rod, the name of the operator, and even the humidity that day. If a part ever fails on your vessel, we trace it back in minutes, not days.
4. The catalog: more than just fittings
Sure, we churn out through-hulls, seacocks, and prop nuts by the crate. But we also machine:
• custom helm-control knobs with knurled edges that still feel perfect through wet gloves
• heat-exchanger end caps in tellurium copper when you need that extra thermal kick
• decorative bell mounts that polish up like gold and age to a classy bronze
Need one piece or one thousand? Same smile either way.
5. After the box ships: support that picks up the phone
Stuff happens—threads dinged during install, spec changed at the last minute. Shoot us an email with a photo and your hull number; we’ll either rapid-ship a replacement or walk your yard foreman through the fix on FaceTime. No blame games, just solutions.
Quick FAQ (because Google loves these)
Q: How fast can you turn a small brass propeller nut?
A: Programming to crate, 72 hours if we have stock.
Q: Do you offer RoHS-compliant alloys?
A: Absolutely—lead-free C27450 and low-lead C69300 are standard options.
Q: Can you match an old, pitted fitting we pulled off a 1978 trawler?
A: Send us the piece; we’ll 3-D scan and quote within 24 hours.
