CNC Machining Supplies
Machine shops are the bread and butter of the industrial & metalwork industries, with thousands of them scattered across the Houston area in different shapes and sizes. Whether you’re producing large-scale components for oil and gas or precision parts for smaller projects, using advanced carbide tooling ensures you meet deadlines and maximize efficiency. As the city's go-to industrial supply provider, we’ll help you find the perfect balance of quality and affordability for your tooling needs, ensuring your success along the way.
Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
CNC machining has become standard practice in shops of almost any size. It harnesses the power of automation to achieve high-quality, precise production with metal or plastic. Using programmed tool paths, output is amplified significantly due to a repeatability factor that far surpasses manual machining processes. Common CNC machines found in industrial shops can be:
-
Lathes
-
Mills
-
Laser Cutters
-
Routers
-
Plasma Cutters
-
Drills
-
Grinders
-
Electrode Discharge Machines (EDM)
Consumables
While CNC machining offers tremendous upside in production and output, certain components of each machine require maintenance and replacement periodically to maintain expected performance and precision. Inserts, bits, blades, nozzles, swirl rings, shields, and electrodes are common parts that require regular replacement from wear. As they depreciate, performance of your state-of-the-art machine declines with it.
​
With our automatic vending machine for supplies, we can maintain these parts for you, ensuring they are always stocked. Our vending system allows for seamless restocking, even offering regular machine calibration. This takes maintenance off your team’s to-do list, freeing up your employees to focus solely on production.
