The equipment is similar, but without the computerized controls.<\/p>\n<p>Our custom shop includes manual mills, lathes and other equipment such as grinders and a tool room. We use the same strict quality requirements as in our other shops, but variations from one part to the next are common.<\/p>\n<h2>When is Manual Machining Appropriate?<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s a fair amount of debate over when manual machining is appropriate. Based on our experience, these are the times we think you should choose manual machining:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repair work<\/li>\n<li>Very low quantities (less than 25)<\/li>\n<li>Variations between parts are not an issue<\/li>\n<li>Part variations are desired (to give a &#8220;handmade&#8221; look)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Choose Automated Production Machining, Inc.?<\/h2>\n<p>Automated Production Machining, Inc. specializes in milling and turning.
