Our suppliers can offer a wide range of machining processes!
CNC Turning
Turning is a CNC machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helix toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates.
CNC Milling
CNC milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done in varying directions on one or several axes.
Multi-Axis Machining
Multi-axis machining is a process that involves tools that move in 4 or more directions. It is used to make parts out of metal or other materials by milling away excess material.
Heavy Machining
Large component machining is the practice of machining and fabricating large and heavy parts. This can involve drilling, milling, threading, turning, tapping and horizontal boring work.
Gear Cutting
Gear cutting is any CNC machining process used for creating a gear from metals or plastic. The most common gear cutting processes include hobbing, broaching, milling, and grinding.
Wire Erosion
Electrical discharge machining, also known as spark eroding, wire burning or wire erosion, is a machining process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges

‘Working with Qimtek has been a very rewarding and beneficial partnership. We have managed to increase our supplier base significantly, which in turn, has enabled up to keep our customer’s lead times at a minimum. We started using Qimtek in 2017 and now worth of work with 10 different UK suppliers to date through the system. Using Qimtek means we no longer need to spend time researching and vetting suppliers - instead, we use this time to concentrate on other important tasks and I would definitely recommend using Qimtek.’

I have used Qimtek sourcing service several times, using a Non Disclosure Agreement and I must say, it works very effectively and does the job on sensitive projects. It saves us a lot of time as Qimtek collect the signed NDA's before releasing the drawings to potential suppliers to quote. I'm pleased with the responses coming back, and will be awarding my projects to Qimteks Supplier Members. I would highly recommend using Qimtek sourcing service with or without the nda, it's been successful everytime

"In particular, we really like the easy to use Drag, Drop, Source facility. Via this, we have sourced two new suppliers who provided them with high quality end products and confirmed we will be looking to make longstanding relationships with both suppliers. Try it, it costs absolutely nothing – There is nothing we do not like about Qimtek and we will definitely be using the service again!”
