CUSTOMISED SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY PROJECT

Second operation machining is the unsung hero of manufacturing. It’s the process that takes raw or semi-finished components and refines them into precision engineered parts. For businesses that demand accuracy, durability, and functionality, this step is non-negotiable. Whether you’re in aerospace, automotive, or any industry requiring high-spec components, second operation machining ensures your parts meet exacting standards. At R D Castings Ltd, we understand the importance of getting it right the first time, every time. Our services are designed to eliminate imperfections, enhance performance, and deliver components that stand up to the toughest demands. If you’re tired of settling for ‘good enough’, it’s time to explore what precision really looks like.

OUR SECOND OPERATION MACHINING SOLUTIONS INCLUDE:

If a casting requires a single or multiple drilling operation we have banks of Meddings drills that can be utilised as well as a selection of single spindle pillar drilling machines. All of our drills are used with dedicated fixtures to ensure that parts are held securely and accurately, or the parts are fixed with simple vices where possible to reduce tooling costs.

Drilling

These presses are used in conjunction with press tools that can be manufactured in house by R D Castings Ltd if required. Or we can, where needed, use any existing tooling that a customer may have. We are passionate about our products and our customers and we strive to offer exceptional customer service.

Pressing

These machines also allow us to set depth control via an NC control unit to specific depths down to plus and minus 0.10mm, ensuring complete control over tapped hole depths. We also have Slack and Parr multi spindle tapping machines, which can tap up to 8 holes in one operation. This combined with the latest tooling availability, including automatic fine mist lubrication of taps within cycle ensures a great end result.
