Large Scale Heavy Industrial Contract Machining
ISO Certified Contract CNC Machining Services in Erie, PA
Custom Engineering continually invests in the latest technology and training for our highly skilled machinists. We specialize in large scale heavy industrial machining projects exceeding 720” long and 186” wide in a variety of materials, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and more. We produce components using these materials in heavy industrial applications for baseplates, sole plates, heated platens, bolsters and more. Our technology allows us to hold tight tolerances on features including perpendicularity, flatness, and parallelism, per customer specifications.

Large Scale Industrial Surface Grinding
Custom Engineering offers multiple styles of large scale surface grinding for a variety of materials. We use Blanchard grinding to provide an excellent quality finish that will meet your exact specifications. Our skilled operators are able to provide precision flatness and parallelism to dimensions of .001” and thickness to +/- .0005”.
Blanchard/Rotary Grinding:
- 72” rotary table
- 84” swing
- 22” height
With over 50 years of experience in precision surface grinding, the experts at Custom Engineering use Supertec horizontal surface grinder to deliver extreme precision flatness and parallelism with a smooth finish to large surface area projects accommodating parts as large as 80” wide, up to 118” long, with height up to 18”.
Precision Surface Grinding:
- 40” width
- 120” length
- 18” height
CNC Turning Centers with Live Tooling
Custom utilizes Computerized Numerical Controlled (CNC) turning centers, which allow for precision facing, turning, boring, threading, drilling, grooving, trepanning, and milling operations. Our equipment offers a 4 axis turning center, allowing all 2 axis functions normally associated with turning centers to be executed with two turrets simultaneously, as well as turning centers equipped for large diameter work up to 40”. Custom offers speed and precision with Live Tool capacity, which adds the ability to perform mill type operations without need for additional setup and handling, improving the quality and cost of your heavy industrial fabrication.
