Capabilities with Precision Machinery, Backed by Experience

---

The backbone of our vertical machining capability. This machine offers a powerful spindle, heavy linear-way construction, lightning-fast rapids and micron level repeatability which allows us to take on demanding parts with confidence—whether it’s steel weldments, precision plate work, fixtures plates or complex multi‑operation components. This machine gives us the stability, accuracy and repeatability required for high‑value production and tight‑tolerance jobs.

Our turning capability starts with the GLS‑150. This machine delivers a rigid spindle, fast indexing turret and smooth linear‑way motion that gives us the repeatability required for tight‑tolerance parts. Our GLS‑150 excels at pins, bushings, spacers, threaded components and short‑run production work where accuracy and surface finish matter. This platform gives us the speed, stability and consistency needed to confidently handle demanding turning jobs and high‑value components. 

With more than a decade of real machining and manufacturing experience, we bring a deep understanding of precision work, process reliability, and practical problem‑solving. Our background spans from tight‑tolerance milling and drilling to hardened materials, complex fixtures and production workflows. This experience shapes every decision at Clardy Machine Works—ensuring that each part is approached with the skill, discipline and attention to detail earned through years of doing the work, not just learning it.

Precision is at the core of every part we produce. Our machining processes are built around consistent and repeatable accuracy, supported by rigid equipment, disciplined setups and careful inspection. We routinely hold ±0.001" on prismatic components and maintain tight control over flatness, parallelism and surface finish. Whether it’s a single prototype or a multi‑operation production run, each part is machined with the same commitment to accuracy and reliability.

We're equipped to handle a wide range of materials, from light alloys to demanding tool steels. Our experience and tooling strategy allow us to maintain high accuracy and clean finishes across diverse applications.

Commonly Machined Materials

• Aluminum (all series)
• Mild and alloy steels (1018, A36, 4140)
• Stainless steels (304, 316, 17-4)
• Tool steels (A2, D2, S7, H13)
• P20 tool steel for dies and precision tooling
• Plastics (Delrin, UHMW, Nylon, Polycarbonate)

This range ensures we can support everything from prototype brackets to hardened fixtures and precision tooling components.
