What is Conventional Machining?

Conventional machining uses traditional machine tools, where the movement of the machine is controlled manually by the machine operators. Toolmaking and conventional machining techniques are still an important part of our capacity, and also provide significant training opportunities for our apprenticeship programme.

Conventional Machining Capabilities

At Clifton Engineering we utilise conventional machines to produce one-off and small batches of components, often in very short lead times. Conventional machining allows us to be able to offer very competitive rates. As well as tool making we can offer conventional turning, conventional milling and surface grinding capacity.
