§ 01 / CAPABILITIES

What we make, and how.

A tight, practical set of services built around 3-axis milling and the support work that surrounds a good part — from first prototype through assembled, finished production runs.

/ 01
3-axis
CNC milling
The core of the shop. Aluminum, steel, stainless, brass and engineering plastics — tight tolerances, repeatable results.
/ 02
Prototyping
& one-offs
Single-quantity parts delivered fast. Bring us a sketch, a STEP file, or the broken part you're replacing.
/ 03
Low- to high-
volume runs
From a box of ten to boxes of ten thousand. Dialed-in fixtures, process control and documented revisions.
/ 04
Design
services
Have an idea but no drawings? We'll model it, DFM it, and machine it — all under one roof.
/ 05
TIG welding
& assembly
Clean welds on aluminum and stainless. Kitted assemblies shipped ready to install.
/ 06
Vapor blast
& tumbling
In-house finishing on aluminum parts — an even, matte, fingerprint-resistant surface you can see in the light.
/ 07
Reverse
engineering
Hand us the part; we'll measure, model, and quote the replacement. Legacy parts, obsolete hardware, broken OEM pieces.
/ 08
In-house
inspection
Calipers, mics, and height gages on every critical feature. First Article Inspection Reports on request.
/ 09
Something
else?
If it's machinable, ask. We have partners for anodizing, plating, heat treat and specialty processes.

§ 06 / TESTIMONIALS

What our customers say.

Engineers, buyers and maintenance leads who've moved their work to HWG.

HWG turned around a 12-part run in a week that my previous shop quoted at six. Tolerances were dead-on. They're now our default.
