Our Precision machining services include:

Charleston CNC Milling Services

With our state of the art CNC milling machines, we’re able to create intricate, close-tolerance parts by removing material. What is CNC milling? CNC milling is similar to cutting or drilling, and we can perform those operations with our CNC milling machines as well. 

We’re experts at CAM technology and program our machines using CAD/CAM software. No matter if you’re in need of Charleston CNC milling services, or machine shops in Charleston County, South Carolina, the Distinctive team is here to help. We ship our precision machined parts across the US. 

Charleston CNC Turning Services

Our expert machinists excel at CNC turning projects. What is CNC turning? CNC turning involves using a cutting tool to remove material as a workpiece (raw material) rotates around an axis. Operations that can be done with CNC turning includes turning, facing, grooving, parting, threading, drilling, boring, reaming and tapping. 

We can machine a wide variety of materials with our CNC lathes, including most metals (including titanium and other challenging alloys), wood and plastic.  Due to the nature of CNC turning, or a CNC lathe, it is ideal for concentric parts (commonly cylinders and shafts). With our CNC mills, we’re able to achieve very smooth, uniform surface finishes. 

There are many CNC turning companies in Charleston, and South Carolina in general. How do you choose the best CNC machine shops in Charleston? No matter if you’re in need of Charleston CNC milling services, or machine shops in other parts of Charleston County, the Distinctive team is here to help. We ship our precision machined parts across South Carolina and the entire US. 

5-Axis CNC Machining

5 Axis CNC machining allows our cutting tools to simultaneously move along 5 axes. This, along with other factors gives us the ability to produce highly accurate, close-tolerance machined parts. We’ll use 5-axis machining for many industries, but it is commonly used for aerospace machining, where the closest tolerances are a requirement. 

Aside from the flexibility we have with our 5 axis machines, an inherent advantage is we can perform multiple machining operations with a single setup. Often referred to as “done in one”, a single setup increases both efficiency and accuracy in parts machining.

We specialize in top quality metal fabrication, welding services and CNC machining services at competitive pricing

High Precision machined parts

One tool we use to measure your machined parts accuracy is a CMM. Using a CMM, or a Coordinate Measuring Machine, we can precisely measure your machined part along the X, Y and Z axes. Having these capabilities means we don’t have to send your machined parts to a dimensional lab for measurement.
