Machining Overview

SPIROL’s machining capabilities offer production methods that eliminate tool cost while improving product quality and consistency. We produce low-volume machined components complete, or we combine stamping and machining operations to reduce total product cost and deliver precision tolerances. We can provide product in thicknesses of .002” (0.05mm) and up on quantities from one piece to hundreds of thousands.
