Services
CNC Turning
CNC turning services produce high-precision cylindrical components using advanced computer-controlled lathes. We handle complex geometries in metals like stainless steel, aluminium, and titanium, ensuring tight tolerances for industries such as aerospace and automotive. Our expertise guarantees consistent quality and efficiency for prototype to medium-volume production.
Conventional Turning
Conventional turning services cater to bespoke or low-volume projects requiring traditional engineering skills. Our experienced engineers use manually operated lathes to create custom components, offering flexibility for unique specifications while maintaining precision in materials like cast iron and brass.
CNC Milling
CNC milling services utilise multi-axis machines to shape complex parts from solid materials. We specialise in 3-axis milling for components used in industrial machinery and electronics, achieving high accuracy in metals and nylon. This service supports rapid prototyping and batch production with minimal lead times.
Slotting
Slotting services create precise internal and external grooves in components using specialised cutting tools. This technique is ideal for keyways, splines, and custom profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ensuring dimensional accuracy for applications in hydraulic systems and mechanical assemblies.
Cylinder Grinding
Cylinder grinding services refine cylindrical surfaces to achieve ultra-precise diameters and smooth finishes. We use external cylindrical grinding machines for components like shafts and rollers, ensuring compatibility with materials such as hardened steel and alloys for automotive and manufacturing sectors.

I had some difficult thread tapping that I needed to have done not a large job in the scheme of things but I got in touch with Simaron Engineering to see if they could help, they replied straight away and after a couple of emails I felt confident they could do the job and at a fair price too. I sent off the bolts to be tapped and they did the work in good time and I was amazed at just how good they came back perfect for the job I was doing I have used them 4 times now and will use again . I highly recommend them for your engineering big or small they know what they are doing.
