Red Oak Fabrication runs a full machine shop with 11 CNC machining centers on the floor — horizontal and vertical mills paired with live-tooling CNC lathes. We cut raw bar stock, heavy castings, weldments, and plastics like UHMW. Some jobs are long bar-fed production runs; others are single heavy parts. We do both, start to finish, under one roof.
Our shop handles small turned shafts and heavy multi-sided weldments alike. We offer several machining processes to manage productivity and quality control of the CNC machined parts we make.
| Machine | Configuration | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Large-format VMC 1× Haas VF-10 | 50-taper, large X/Y/Z travel | Big weldments, heavy plate, large castings |
| Vertical milling 4× vertical machining centers | 3- and 4-axis, high-speed spindles | Brackets, slots, pockets, surface work |
| Horizontal milling 2× horizontal machining centers | Multi-pallet, rotary tombstones | High-volume, multi-sided runs |
| CNC turning 3× lathes — 2× Doosan Puma (4′ bar-fed), 1× Haas ST-30 | Sub-spindle, Y-axis, live tooling on the Pumas | Turning, cross-drilling, milling, back-work |
| CNC routing 1× ShopSabre IS 510 | 5′ × 10′ bed, high-speed routing and profiling | Plastics, rubber, UHMW, composites, non-ferrous sheet |
| Secondary tapping 2× FlexArm tapping arms | High-torque, air and hydraulic | Fast, clean threads off the machine |
Our CNC turning services run on two 4-foot bar-fed CNC lathes. Each one is built to finish a part in a single cycle.
We run seven mills in all — five vertical and two horizontal. We match your part size and volume to the right spindle.
From structural steel to wear-resistant plastics, our tooling and feeds/speeds are calibrated for optimal chip evacuation and surface finish:
