Machining

Normal processing of rough castings begins with a metal shot blast operation prior to removal of gates, sprues and risers. Castings are sorted by size and metal type and subsequently ground to remove extraneous material. 

A specialized machine shop serves the needs of Weatherly's customers. Heavy duty, rigid machine tools withstand the rigors of machining high alloy and wear resistant iron castings. 

Weatherly's traditional ability to machine the most difficult materials is an outstanding plus when considering Weatherly as your casting source.
