Precision MachiningMoore-Addison does PRECISION MACHINING on all kinds of non-metallic materials. All our machining is set up to work these materials. The speeds and feeds in machining it are different than any metal. The way dimensions are measured are different than gauging metal parts. When the business started in 1953, a major group of customers in our client base than as now where all the Gear cutters in the Midwest. For them we made and still do make gear blanks. These are gears with no teeth; they are precision donuts. Gear houses use the trigonometry we all suffered to learn in high school (and quickly forgot) to cut gear teeth into our blanks. They demand a very precisely dimensioned product to get their gear data just right. The rigorous discipline that goes into this carefully fashioned merchandise informs all the parts we make anywhere in our shop. Moore-Addison will apply this precision mind set to the making of your parts. The niche Moore-Addison fills is that we machine precision donuts out of nasty stuff. All measuring devices are made out of steel. Indeed, hardened steel is the material of choice for micrometers and calipers, dowel pins and gauge blocks. Moore-Addison only measures our non-metallic product. We use hard steel to measure soft plastic; plastic will compress against hard steel every time. Even more than measuring steel, touch becomes critical to get an "accurate" measurement of our parts. Even the sharp point on a CMM feeler will read differently measuring UHMW or canvas phenolic than pressing on a piece of 1040 stainless.
A partial list of the main machines we currently use follows. It is a partial list because if we listed all our machinery, we would have many pages; you would get bored and go to another website. We want you to stay with us; send Moore-Addison a "request for quote"; buy our machined plastic parts.
