Boring and milling from Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company provides you with cost effective machining for precision fabrications in a wide variety of sizes. With our advanced milling equipment, Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company is one of few metal fabricators in New England capable of accommodating the sizes we handle under our roof.
Boring • Drilling • Milling • Tapping • Reaming • Shaping • Contouring
Accommodations for large and small parts: Our largest machine can handle up to 44,000 lbs. and has a clearance of 96" high, 275” long and 157” wide. To accommodate 44,000 lbs. of potential material we also have an overhead remote controlled crane to lift parts of every shape and size into the correct position.
Faster and more efficient machining for contoured parts: Our boring and milling machinery also features rotary tables that enable highly efficient multi-axis machining, increasing value and throughput for our customers.
3D Machining with tight tolerances: In addition, rotary table indexing enables us to perform three-dimensional machining tailored to all of your specifications. All of our machined components are fabricated to specific tight tolerances that include +/- 0.0005 for milling and +/- 0.0002" for machine boring.
At GMFCO our advanced machining capabilities allow us to customize your large metal components to your requested dimensions. With our experience working with a wide range of industries, the team at GMFCO can provide the machining and fabrication required by automotive components, machined tools, marine components and more. Materials frequently used within our horizontal boring and milling machines include steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
