Owens Industries is a trusted name when it comes to providing advanced brass machining services. With CNC technology and state-of-the-art equipment, we can perform complex machining operations for many different CNC machining materials including brass. Our advanced machining capabilities include 4-axis and 5-axis milling, swiss machining, and even micromachining. This allows us to create the highest precision parts with the tightest tolerances. We can achieve tolerances as tight as 0.0005".
Owens Industries is a Wisconsin-based CNC machine shop, but we have been known nationally since 1944 for being on time, within budget, and within tolerance. We understand that each project is unique, which is why we offer custom brass machining services tailored to meet specific customer requirements. Our expertise in providing high-quality custom brass parts manufacturing and fabrication services is unmatched. Owens' commitment to quality assurance and inspection ensures that every precision brass CNC machining service we provide is of the highest standard.
Since 1944, designers and engineers have trusted Owens Industries to machine their components and parts from materials such as brass. Owens Industries utilizes advanced CNC technology and machining equipment to offer ultra-precision brass machining services. Our brass machining capabilities enable us to machine brass parts with tight tolerances and complex geometries, making us the go-to partner for various industries. We serve these industries:
