CNC machining

CNC milling in Long Beach for parts made to your drawing

Machined parts from drawings, samples and project requirements

The shop’s Haas VF-6SS and VF-2SS vertical machining centers support CNC milling for individual components, fixtures and repeat parts.

Send the drawing, material and quantity, along with the dimensions that matter most. The shop can review milling on its own or as part of a job that also needs waterjet cutting, forming or welding.

Two Haas mills, more room for the work

Fab Metal Shop’s CNC milling equipment includes a Haas VF-6SS and a Haas VF-2SS.

01 / VERTICAL MILLING

Haas VF-6SS

Super-Speed vertical machining center

Standard X / Y / Z travel
64 × 32 × 30 in

The larger of the shop’s two confirmed Haas mills, for projects that need more machining travel.

02 / VERTICAL MILLING

Haas VF-2SS

Super-Speed vertical machining center

Standard X / Y / Z travel
30 × 16 × 20 in

A complementary vertical mill for individual components, fixtures and repeat parts.

Travels are manufacturer reference specifications, not maximum finished-part dimensions. Tooling, fixtures, material and part geometry determine whether a job fits. Send your drawing for review.

Discuss a machining project

A clear path from part information to machining

The shop starts by reviewing the geometry, material, quantity and features that matter to the finished part. That information determines how the machining work should be approached.

01

Review the input

Provide a drawing, sample or dimensions with the material, quantity and intended use.

02

Plan the machining

Part geometry, tooling and workholding are reviewed before the machining sequence is selected.

03

Machine and review

The part is machined and checked against the project information before the job moves to handoff or another shop process.

CNC work for parts, fixtures and repeat production

Project requirements determine the equipment and sequence used for each machining request.

CNC milling

Milled profiles, pockets, faces and holes for job-specific components. Send a dimensioned drawing so the shop can review the features and setup.

  • One-off parts
  • Fixtures
  • Repeat work
Fixtures and tooling

Machined parts for locating, supporting or holding other components. Include the mating part and how the fixture will be used.

Individual and repeat parts

Bring a single-part request or a repeat quantity. Material, setup and inspection requirements are reviewed for each job.

Combined processes

Machined parts can be combined with waterjet cutting, forming and welding when the finished job requires several operations.

Frequently asked questions

Which CNC machines does the shop use?

The confirmed milling equipment includes Haas VF-6SS and VF-2SS Super-Speed vertical machining centers. Send your drawing so the shop can review the setup your part requires.

Can you work from an existing part?

The shop can review a sample along with available dimensions and project requirements. Contact the shop so the part can be evaluated before work is confirmed.

Can you meet a specific tolerance?

Include your tolerances and inspection requirements with the drawing. The shop must review the material, geometry and setup before confirming achievable tolerances for your part.

What information helps with a quote?

Send the drawing or sample, material, quantity, critical dimensions and any features or requirements that matter to the finished part.
