We only manufacture straight ends for these stainless steel brake lines and we are not involved in the final assembly.
The high production workhorse of our facility, Acme screw machines deliver high volume, precisely machined products in a cost effective manner. High performance machining and quality setup is the most important piece of the puzzle. Especially when cycle times can be 6 seconds or less for tens of thousands of pieces.
Falmer possesses eight machines which are six spindle machines ranging from 7/16” to 2” bar size that will machine parts down to as small as 1/8 inch and as big as 2 inches. It is hard to beat the cutting speed, feed rate and cycle time of a screw machine. To bring our clients the best price, our screw machine rule of thumb is to set our production run minimum at 5000.
