CMF's TOS Varnsdorf WHQ 15 CNC boring mill has a 98 × 138 in table, and a second TOS mill has a 78 × 137 in table. Both sit under overhead crane coverage with 18 ft under the hook.

Yes. CMF welds and machines in the same building, so weldments go straight to the boring mill for post-weld machining to print, with no shipping between vendors.

Recent CMF jobs include a 5 in 6061-T6 aluminum component for a large military test fixture and the bored heads of a ballistic research blast tank.

CMF's Flow 5-axis waterjet cuts thick plate, stainless and aluminum cold at 95,000 psi, with parts up to 78 × 156 in. For a blast tank, it cut 1-1/2 in heads.

Waterjet cuts without heat, so edges come off clean and ready for weld with no heat-affected zone. CMF also runs a 5 kW laser to 1 in and plasma to 2 in when those are the better fit.

Yes. CMF kits cut parts for its own press brakes, plate rolls and weld stations, so there is no hand-off between vendors.

CMF forms thin sheet through thick plate on press brakes from 135 to 400 tons, including a 400-ton Pacific with a 14 ft bed. Plate rolls handle up to 3/4 in × 12 ft.

Yes. CMF's Bertsch plate rolls turn flat plate into cylinders, shells, cones, transitions and radiused segments, then our welders and boring mill finish them in the same building.

Recent CMF work includes a ballistic research blast tank rolled from 3/4 in plate and a stainless process tank 12 ft in diameter and 25 ft long.

CMF forms carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum, from one-off prototypes to production runs, with CNC programs saved for every reorder.

CMF welds carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum using MIG, TIG and stick processes across 24 MIG and 5 TIG stations.

Both. CMF builds fixturing for repeat production and also takes one-off prototypes, weldments and full assemblies with kitting.

Yes. Weldments move straight to CMF's TOS CNC boring mills for post-weld machining, under the same ISO 9001:2015 quality system.

CMF's Cincinnati squaring shear cuts plate and sheet up to 3/8 in thick and 12 ft long.

Yes. CMF saws structural shapes on an Amada HA-400 16 in auto-feed saw and two 36 in Do-All contour band saws.

Shearing, punching and sawing feed directly into CMF's forming, welding and machining, so prepped material never leaves the building.

CMF inspects parts with an 8 ft FARO Arm running PolyWorks, a 36 × 48 in granite surface plate and a HYPRO pressure test station.

CMF provides material certifications and traceability, first-article inspection reports, certificates of conformance, and dimensional reports on request.

Yes. CMF paints and packs parts in-house before they ship, about 10 minutes from I-70 and I-75.
