Small, uniform chips are created as the tools cut the extrusion. These chips are easy to manage and they do not cause the machinist to slow or stop the equipment to clean out the machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Minimizing dimensional variation helps the machinist create finished components that are also uniform and easy to assemble. Some of our extruded parts are able to run \u201clights out.\u201d This allows the machinist to load up the equipment with extrusions prior to the end of their workday, turn off the lights, lock the doors, and let the equipment machine the parts overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Our machining processes and capabilities allow our customers to purchase high quality finished components that are ready for assembly, without the need to manage multiple vendors.
