Precision CNC Horizontal Machining in Wisconsin
Reduce Production Time with Complex Machining
Lawton AIABar has a precision CNC horizontal machining center in Waukesha, WI. CNC machining services serve industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical and defense. Whether you need intricate parts for aerospace engines or robust components for heavy machinery, we can accommodate your unique requirements. Efficient CNC machining services and wholesale metal supply save you time and money on raw materials, fully machined metal components and everything in between.
Horizontal machining equipment features a horizontal spindle orientation, which means the workpiece is positioned horizontally on the machine's table. This configuration offers several advantages. First, it facilitates better chip evacuation, enabling efficient debris removal and enhancing overall machining performance. Additionally, the horizontal setup offers increased stability and rigidity, which is particularly beneficial for heavy-duty machining operations.
Our CNC horizontal machining shop also has computer-controlled systems and high-precision tools. This technology enables us to deliver exceptional results with accuracy and efficiency. From milling and drilling to boring and tapping, CNC horizontal machining experts deliver precise, high-quality results.
Based in Waukesha, WI, our CNC horizontal machining center serves customers in cities around Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Madison, Janesville, Racine, Kenosha, Brookfield and other nearby areas. We also distribute wholesale metal stock to major US cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and Jacksonville, as well as across North America.

Horizontal CNC Machining Capabilities
CNC machining services outperform traditional sand-casting methods in terms of accuracy and complexity. From rough processing to final machining, we can handle the entire process. In addition to machining, we carry stainless steel, carbon fiber, continuous-cast iron and other metals and alloys suitable for CNC machining.
What Is Continuous Cast Iron?
Continuous Cast Iron is easy to machine, retains lubrication, wears efficiently and is an inexpensive alternative to metals such as bronze, aluminum or stainless steel.
What are the Advantages of CNC Horizontal Machining?
CNC horizontal machines are gaining popularity for their efficiency and high production capabilities. Listed below are just a few of the benefits a horizontal machine center (HMC) has to offer:
- Efficient processing time: A horizontal machine can swap pallets, reducing the delay between machining cycles. Several pieces can be finished in one cycle, saving time and floor space.
- Complex machining: A horizontal machine can create a multi-sided part in a single cycle, cut slots and cut grooves into a material.
- Significant material removal: If the workpiece requires the removal of large amounts of material, horizontal machines are a better solution than vertical ones. The chips fall away from the machine, reducing the need for manual removal.
Precision CNC Turning Services
Our Waukesha CNC machine shop provides precision CNC turning services for cylindrical components and other rotational parts. Lawton AIABar machines bearings, bushings, pistons, wear plates, pulleys and similar components for Wisconsin manufacturers across a range of industries. Our CNC turning capabilities support both recurring and project-specific production needs. Turning can reduce in-house processing requirements while helping manufacturers maintain consistent dimensions across production runs.
Lawton AIABar also machines bronze components, including bushings, washers and bearings, based on customer specifications.
