PRECISION CNC TURNING OF METALS AND PLASTICS

Knight Manufacturing Co., Inc. precision CNC turning capabilities can be applied to the wide range of metals and plastic polymers used in everything from forgings and castings, in industries from aerospace to construction. We typically work to +/- .0002″ tolerances but when required, we readily meet tighter tolerances by leveraging our grinding capabilities.

Because we are a specialty production shop, we can produce a single unit or several thousand pieces. We can build tooling for outside shops such as jigs, fixtures, progressive dies. Knight has the expertise and experience required to design and build as well as the flexibility needed to provide just-in-time, ship to stock and Kanban services amongst others.

We service a wide range of diverse industries, from automotive and fire suppression to motorcycle and stamping. To meet customer needs, Knight offers many secondary services, from plating to deburring and degreasing to statistical process control.

We have provided more detail below and you can always call us for more information on our capabilities and services.
