For parts with stable designs and high volume requirements it is obviously more cost effective to use castings instead of machined-from-solid components. Additionally, castings allow the designer to incorporate internal water and oil passages that simply could not be machined into a billet part. Many of the structural components in our racing engines are machined from castings and as such we understand exactly what is required to machine castings to a high-precision and high-quality.

We have equipped our machine shop with the best machining centres so that we can achieve the tight tolerances that we and our clients demand.
