CNC machining isn’t one-size-fits-all, and at TK Machining Specialties, our capabilities are built for the outliers. Our shop combines multi-axis milling, mill-turn integration, lights-out automation, and precision inspection to solve challenges most machine shops won’t touch. If you’re running precision prototypes or need a low-volume production partner, we tailor our approach to meet your part, not the other way around.
What Defines CNC Machining Capabilities Today?
It's More Than Axis Count
While 5-axis and mill-turn machining are core to our process, true capability comes from how machines, tooling, and people work together. TKMS pairs advanced equipment with smart process engineering, meaning faster cycle times, tighter tolerances, and fewer setups for even the most complex parts.
Material Flexibility
From titanium and Inconel to stainless steel and aluminum, we machine a wide range of metals with precision and consistency. Our team understands how different materials behave under tool pressure, temperature, and chip load, and we adjust every program accordingly.
Precision Tolerances, Built-In
Holding tight tolerances isn’t an add-on service — it’s baked into how we operate. We routinely machine to ±0.0005” or better, and every part goes through process-specific inspection, using cutting edge equipment like our roundness tester and CMMs.
Our Core Capabilities at a Glance
5-Axis CNC Milling
Ideal for complex surfaces, undercuts, and parts that benefit from fewer setups. We use simultaneous 5-axis machining to reduce error stack-up and improve surface finish.
Multi-Axis Mill-Turn
By combining turning and milling into a single operation, we reduce handling and increase precision for cylindrical and prismatic parts alike.
Lights-Out Automation
Our shop runs around the clock using robotics, pallet changers, and remote monitoring systems. This lets us maintain throughput and consistency — even in high-mix, low-volume environments.
Engineering-Driven Process Design
Every part gets a documented strategy — from fixturing and probing to toolpath optimization and inspection checkpoints. Our background in engineering makes us a partner, not just a supplier.
