Secondary Operations

In-House Secondary Machining

Operations on a part which follow the first turning operation are generally referred to as "secondary operations". Fordsell has a full complement of production-ready secondary equipment giving us the capability to run complex parts complete to print.

Equipment

	High-speed CNC Vertical Machining - Milling & Tapping
	Single spindle screw machines able to handle miniature to larger parts
	Horizontal mills
	Bridgeport^® mills
	Drill presses, lathes
	Surface finishing

Key Benefits

	Responsibility: The benefit to the customer is the ability of one supplier to be responsible for and control much of the machining operations without needing to go to a subsupplier.
	Short lead time: Extensive secondary allows Fordsell to respond to aggressive customer scheduling requirements by shifting resources appropriately across a wide range of equipment.
