Aluminum Machining & Fabrication Services

We cut aluminum tube, pipe, bar, and extrusions to length with square, deburred ends, in the alloy and temper you specify.

• Lengths from 0.375 inches to 33 feet
• Cut on saws and on end facers, with the end facers holding to plus or minus 0.005 inches
• Wire brush and tumble deburring
• Prototype quantities through high-volume production

The tolerance we can hold depends on which machine your job runs on, so send us your length and tolerance requirement and we will tell you what we can hold.

We place holes, slots, and notches exactly where your assembly needs them.

• Hole sizes, patterns, spacing, and tolerances matched to your drawing
• Production volumes, not one-off work
• Assembly available on the same order, including installing button clips

This is everyday work on telescoping tubing, kayak and canoe paddles, and snow shovel handles. Send us your drawing and parts arrive ready to fasten, fold, and join.

We bend aluminum tube and extrusions to your radius without kinking, cracking, or wall collapse. We bend four ways:

• CNC bending
• Manual bending on our Pines benders
• Press bending
• Roll bending, also called roll forming

We confirm the alloy and temper that will hold both your radius and your finish. For alloy and temper guidance, bendability factors, and our full bending capability, see our dedicated custom aluminum tube bending page.

We form the ends and bodies of aluminum tube and extrusions up to 5.000 inches OD.

• Swaging, which reduces the outside diameter so one tube slips inside another
• Stamping
• End forming and flaring

Swaged joints are how telescoping poles, handles, paddles, and multi-piece tube sets go together without a separate coupling. Send your print and the fit you need and we will form to it.

We machine your parts to print, cutting the bores, flats, mounting faces, and detail your design calls for.

• Conventional and CNC milling
• Conventional and CNC turning
• CNC holds the same geometry and tolerances from the first piece to the last across long production runs

Send a drawing with your tolerances and material and we will machine to it.

We supply honed aluminum tube for parts where the inside surface does the work, most often hydraulic cylinder tubing and shock absorbers.

• A bore true enough for seals to ride and hold pressure over the life of the cylinder
• Run through our vetted honing partners today
• Honing equipment being added at our Chicoutimi plant
• We manufacture the tube being honed, so the material and the finished bore come from one source

Send your bore size, surface finish, and tolerance requirements and we will quote to them.

We join your components into finished assemblies, including assemblies that cannot be extruded or machined as one piece.

• MIG and TIG welding
• Hand welding and robotic welding
• Base metal and filler selected for the alloy and the loads the part will carry

Tell us the alloy and the service loads and we will weld to suit.

We assemble the parts we fabricate.

• Button clips and pins that lock two tubes together
• End caps fitted to tubes
• Custom marking
• Kitting, so a five-tube set arrives as one bundle instead of five loose pieces

Parts reach your floor ready to install, with no secondary handling.
