Our Services
From single prototypes to high-volume production runs — Gen X Machinery delivers precision-machined components across a full range of CNC and fabrication services. Every job is completed to drawing, inspected, and dispatched on time.
CNC Milling
Our multi-axis CNC milling centres handle everything from simple flat profiles to complex 3D contoured surfaces. We work from your CAD files or engineering drawings, programming tool paths in-house for maximum accuracy and repeatability.
Capabilities
- Aluminium, mild steel, stainless steel, tool steel
- Titanium, brass, copper, engineering plastics
- Pockets, slots, profiles, contours, threads
- Prototype to high-volume production runs
- In-house CAM programming from STEP/IGES/DXF
CNC Turning
From simple shafts and bushes to complex multi-feature turned parts, our CNC lathes with live tooling deliver consistent accuracy across every batch. We handle small-diameter precision work through to large-diameter flanges and housings.
Capabilities
- External and internal turning, boring
- Thread cutting — metric, UNC, UNF, BSP, ACME
- Grooving, parting, knurling
- Live tooling: cross-drilling, milling, slotting
- Bar-fed production turning for high volumes
Metal Fabrication
Our fabrication shop handles laser cutting, plasma cutting, press braking, and welding for structural and precision fabricated assemblies. We work from your drawings or models and deliver fully finished, inspected assemblies.
Capabilities
- Laser & plasma profile cutting from DXF/DWG
- CNC press brake bending — complex fold sequences
- MIG, TIG, and stick welding — certified welders
- Stainless steel, mild steel, aluminium fabrication
- Powder coating and surface treatment coordination
Precision Grinding
Surface and cylindrical grinding for components requiring the tightest dimensional tolerances and superior surface finishes. Ideal for tooling, gauges, bearing seats, and mating surfaces where machining alone is insufficient.
Capabilities
- Surface grinding — flat, parallel, and angular faces
- Cylindrical OD and ID grinding
- Tool steel, hardened steel, carbide grinding
- Gauge blocks, jigs, fixtures, and tooling
- Post-heat-treatment finish grinding
Prototyping & One-Offs
Need a single prototype or a small batch of development parts? We specialise in fast-turnaround one-off and prototype machining, working directly with engineers to refine designs before committing to production tooling.
Capabilities
- Single-piece and small-batch machining
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) consultation
- Rapid iteration — multiple revisions per week
- All materials: metals, alloys, engineering plastics
- Expedited service available for urgent requirements
Quality & Inspection
Quality is not an afterthought at Gen X Machinery. Every component is inspected against drawing before leaving our facility. We use calibrated measuring equipment and maintain full traceability on all jobs.
Capabilities
- Dimensional inspection — vernier, micrometer, height gauge
- CMM inspection for complex 3D geometries
- Surface roughness measurement (Ra)
- First article inspection (FAI) reports
- Material traceability and mill certificate supply
