CNC Turning & Machining
Our team has spent more than 55 years making tubular products with close tolerances and complex finishes. Our investments in automated CNC milling and friction drilling technology have allowed us to increase the precision and efficiency of production.
Investing in Innovation | Sinico Top 1100 CNC Plus
The Sinico Top 1100 CNC Plus delivers up to 2,600 finished components per hour while integrating a broad range of operations in a single, continuous cycle – all managed by CNC control for maximum consistency. The combination of our industry-leading machines and expertise makes Fraser Steel the top choice for precision CNC turning.
Faster Production with Less Waste | Friction Drilling
Also known as thermal drilling or flow drilling, friction drilling is a method of making holes in metal whereby the material is pushed out of the way with the aid of head from friction. Utilizing friction drilling allows us to add threaded features to parts with greater speed and less waste material, and it is the preferred solution for tubular parts where access to the inside of the tube is restricted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is automated CNC turning and machining?
Automated CNC turning uses computer-controlled equipment to precisely cut, shape, and finish metal parts. At Fraser Steel, our advanced systems allow us to produce complex, tight-tolerance components quickly and consistently.
What makes the Sinico Top 1100 CNC Plus beneficial for my project?
The Sinico Top 1100 CNC Plus is a high-productivity rotary transfer machine capable of producing up to 2,600 finished pieces per hour. It performs multiple machining operations in one continuous cycle, allowing us to deliver faster lead times, tighter tolerances, and exceptional part consistency.
What types of features can Fraser Steel machine into my parts?
Our CNC turning and machining capabilities support a wide range of features, including chamfers, counter-bores, ID/OD grooves, complex depth angles, face knurls, radii, shoulders, threads, and specified finishes. If your part requires intricate or multi-step details, our team can help.
How does friction drilling improve the quality of tubular parts?
Friction drilling forms holes by generating heat and pushing material aside rather than removing it. This creates stronger threaded features, reduces material waste, and is ideal for tubular parts where internal access is limited.
Can Fraser Steel help me optimize my part design?
Yes! With over 35 years of experience in tubular manufacturing, our engineers work collaboratively with customers to refine part designs for better performance and cost savings.
