What makes Skild Machining, Inc. the best at Machining your components?
Thin Wall, Close Tolerance Machining
Skild Machining, Inc. specializes in close tolerance machining to 50 millionths of an inch (.0013mm) on customer-designed parts that require tightly controlled dimensional and geometric tolerances – such as flatness, perpendicularity, roundness, run-out, parallelism, etc. – when measured in the “Free State” (unrestrained). We are particularly good at parts with thin wall sections that need these tight free state requirements.
Our highly experienced work staff, extensive experience, quality machine tools and sophisticated holding and measuring equipment allow us to control dimensional
tolerances tighter and more consistently than our competitors. This results in the highest quality components for our customers.
Critical Surface Finish Applications 
Skild Machining, Inc. has the knowledge, experience and equipment to produce micro finishes as fine as 2 micro inches with flatness to 2 helium light bands.
We do super finishing of diameters, bores, shoulders and faces of parts that require demanding critical sealing and mating surfaces.
We also do “Match Grinding” of metering components, such as high performance valves, spools and sleeves that require specific diametrical clearances.
Difficult to Machine Materials/Versatile Size Range
Highly engineered applications require specific materials that can withstand the rigors of their environments. Because many of the materials used in these applications are difficult to machine they require specialized expertise and capabilities.
Skild Machining, Inc.’s unique experience with difficult to machine materials includes but is not limited to:
- Stainless Steels (440C, 410, 416, 347, 316, 304, 17-4, 15-5, and 13-8, A286)
- Inconel, Invar™, AM355 and Kovar
- Titanium
- Molybdenum
- OFHC Copper
- Nickel 200
- Monel
- Alloy Steel, CPM10V, Tool Steel
- Manganese Bronze & Brass
- 6061 and 7075 Aluminum
- Polymer Plastics
- Powder Metals
Skild Machining, Inc., in addition to machining bar stock, is highly experienced in machining Castings, Forgings and Extrusions.
We are capable of machining parts as small as .060″ diameter x .030″ long to as large as 12″diameter x 24″ long.
Hard Turning, Grinding, Lapping 
Because these operations generally are near the end of the manufacturing process, lack of quality control could be costly in terms of money and time lost. Skild Machining, Inc.-unlike many of our competition who farm out their grinding to outside suppliers-does all of our own grinding, honing, and lapping in house.
Skild Machining, Inc. does hard turning on applications when the process is more cost effective than traditional grinding.
