Workshop services

The forge is also a fully equipped machine shop: for prototypes, one-off parts, small series and repairs.

CNC plasma cutting

Steel, stainless steel and aluminium, cut quickly and economically from CAD data, a sketch or a template – for one-offs and series alike. Finishing such as drilling, milling, welding or simple bending (max. 3 mm) is available.

  • Workpiece up to 2 × 1 m
  • Thickness up to 20–25 mm depending on material, quality cut up to 12 mm
  • Steel in stock: 2, 3, 6, 10, 12 mm; other thicknesses on request

CNC milling (3-axis)

Prototypes, one-off parts and small series in steel, tool steel, stainless steel, aluminium, non-ferrous metals, plastics or wood. Programmed in Fusion 360 from all common 2D and 3D formats; I can also draw the CAD model from a sketch or a sample part.

  • Travel 400 × 200 × 280 mm
  • Workpiece up to about 360 × 180 × 150 mm

Manual turning & milling

Quick and flexible, with no programming: components, tools and spare parts from a drawing, a sketch, a sample part or a conversation.

  • Lathe: 800 mm between centres, 165 mm centre height, down to ±0.01 mm
  • Mill: travel 450 × 200 × 430 mm

Laser engraving on metal

20 W fibre laser (1064 nm) for steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and other non-ferrous metals: highly detailed and durable, for one-offs and small series.

  • Engraving area up to 100 × 100 mm, deep engraving up to about 0.2 mm
  • Artwork: vector file (DXF, SVG, AI, EPS) or high-resolution image (JPG, PNG, TIF)
  • Engraving inside rings is not currently possible

Repairs of all kinds

Repair rather than replace: small appliances, tools, motorcycle components or parts for classic cars that are no longer available. With an Adler industrial sewing machine, even rucksacks and the like can be stitched.

Steelwork & welding

From a repair to a complete steel fabrication, in MIG/MAG and TIG. Smaller parts can also be brazed.

  • All work is done in my workshop, not on site
  • Chromed, coated or painted parts are not welded

Hardening

Smaller parts in tool steel, whether knives from your home workshop or mechanical components from your production.

  • Two controlled SOLO hardening furnaces, up to 1150 °C
  • Rockwell (HRC) testing with a GNEHM tester; result documented or laser-marked on the part

Constructions & steel furniture

Made-to-order steel furniture, tables and table legs in distinctive designs, or smaller steel constructions – plasma-cut, welded or forged.
