Product Overview
Vertical mill parts are machined on vertical machining centres, where the spindle is oriented vertically and the tool works down into the part. This configuration gives excellent visibility and access for detailed operations, which suits smaller batches, complex top face features and parts that need frequent setup changes.
Our vertical capacity comprises four Fadal 4020 vertical machining centres and one Okuma Genos M460-VE with chip removal systems and automatic tool changers, the latter allowing longer unattended cycles on repeat work.
Key Benefits
Detailed Vertical Operations
Good access and visibility for intricate features on the top face of a part.
Fast Setup Changes
Well suited to small batch and high mix production where jobs change often.
Automatic Tool Changing
The Okuma Genos machine changes tools automatically for longer unattended cycles.
Consistent Accuracy
Tolerance held at +/-0.005 mm on production runs.
Application Scenarios and Who It Is For
- Plates, covers and mounting bases
- Housings with features on one principal face
- Fixture and jig components
- Prototype and low volume machined parts
- Machinery and automation components
If your application is not listed, send the drawing anyway. Most of our work arrives as a part nobody else wanted to quote.

Manufacturing Process and Quality Control
Drawing Review
Our engineers review manufacturability, confirm tolerances and raise anything in the drawing that would cause a problem before production starts.
Sample Approval
Free samples are offered prior to mass production, with first piece inspection recorded against your drawing.
Production Control
In-process inspection at a set frequency during the run, using the coordinate measuring machine and gauges in our inspection room.
Surface Treatment
Anodizing, sand blasting, polishing, electroplating and powder coating applied in house after deburring and cleaning.
Final Inspection
The finished lot is checked against the drawing before packing, with certification issued for the stages you require.
Packing and Delivery
Protective packing appropriate to the part, dispatched within the agreed delivery date.
Customization Options
- Material — specify a grade from our catalog, or describe the function and our engineers will recommend one.
- Tolerance — standard machining tolerance is 0.005 to 0.01 mm; tighter callouts are discussed at quotation.
- Surface finish — anodized, sand blasted, polished, electroplated, powder coated or as machined.
- Marking — laser engraving and CNC engraving for part numbers and logos.
- Quantity — from a single prototype through to long production contracts.
- Certification — certification provided at each stage on request.

Product FAQ
Vertical or horizontal milling for my part?
Vertical suits parts with most features on one face and jobs that change often. Horizontal suits higher volume and parts needing several faces machined in one setup.
Can you hold tight flatness on a machined plate?
Tell us the flatness callout at quotation. Thin plates may need stress relieving between roughing and finishing, which affects both price and lead time.
What is the minimum quantity?
One. Prototype and single piece work is normal here.
How do I order this part?
Do you offer free samples?
Yes, free samples are offered prior to mass production so you can confirm the part before committing to a run.
