Our CNC milling capabilities are second to none, featuring a range of equipment like the MAZAK VARIAXIS 500-5XII 5-Axis Pallet Machine and the HAAS VF-8 Machining Centers. These machines allow us to create complex parts with intricate geometries, ensuring that every component fits perfectly and functions flawlessly. From prototyping to full-scale production, our CNC milling services support a wide array of automotive applications.

Example: We manufactured a series of custom intake manifolds for a vintage car restoration project. Using our 5-axis milling machines, we replicated the original design while incorporating modern improvements to enhance performance and efficiency.

Reed’s Precision Machine offers full certified welding services, including MIG, TIG, GAS, and ARC welding. Our skilled welders are adept at working with various materials, ensuring strong and reliable joints for automotive frames, exhaust systems, and structural components. Our welding services are essential for both new builds and repairs, providing durable solutions that withstand the demands of automotive use.

Example: For a government contract, we fabricated and welded custom roll cages for military vehicles, ensuring they met stringent safety and performance standards.

Our laser etching services, utilizing the TYMA ZETALASE™, provide a precise and durable method for marking automotive parts. From serial numbers to logos and custom designs, laser etching ensures that every component is easily identifiable and traceable. This service is particularly valuable for high-performance and custom-built vehicles where unique part identification is crucial.

Example: A custom car builder utilized our laser etching services to mark every part of a bespoke supercar with serial numbers and branding, enhancing both traceability and aesthetic appeal.

At Reed’s Precision Machine, we specialize in fabricating both metal and plastic parts for the automotive industry. Our expertise includes producing specialty, precision, and high-performance parts that meet the exact specifications of our clients. Whether you’re working on a custom build, a high-performance upgrade, or a restoration project, our parts fabrication services ensure that every part fits and functions perfectly.

Example: We fabricated a series of high-tech plastic components for an electric vehicle manufacturer, ensuring lightweight and durable parts that contribute to overall vehicle efficiency.

Our saw shop is equipped with advanced machinery, including the Bundle Saw AMADA Automatic Feed and Horizontal/Vertical KALAMAZOO Saws. These tools allow us to cut and prepare materials with precision, ensuring that every piece meets the exact dimensions required for further processing. This service is crucial for preparing raw materials for machining, welding, and assembly.

Example: For a classic car restoration shop, we precisely cut aluminum sheets and steel bars to be used in custom body panels and chassis components.

Our tumbling services provide the finishing touch to machined parts, ensuring smooth surfaces and polished finishes. This process is essential for automotive components that require aesthetic appeal and functional smoothness, such as gears, pulleys, and decorative elements.

At Reed’s Precision Machine, we understand the importance of material traceability in the automotive industry. Our material traceability system ensures that every piece of material used in your project is fully documented, from its source to the final product. This level of detail provides confidence in the quality and origin of each part, meeting the stringent requirements of government, military, and civilian applications.

Example: Our traceability system was crucial for an automotive manufacturer who required detailed certification for each component used in their production line, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
