Custom laser processing and precision machining
Making ideas a reality since 1980
We strive to create custom parts with exacting standards. Our full service engineering is available, from design and quoting to manufacturing.
SALT can turn your idea into reality. It all begins with an idea, blueprint, or CAD file. We offer a one stop shop for precision machining, laser marking and cutting, tooling design and development.
Our Specialties
Design & Development
We have 40+ years experience in tooling. We’ll partner with you for designing assembly fixtures, machining, CMM fixturing, and EDM fixtures, developing what you need to hold your part. Micro-miniature tooling solutions is a large part of our skillset as well.
Prototype Machining
We specialize in the early stages of your project – bringing ideas to 3D. Small batch runs and opportunities to fine-tune it’s design and features are where we excel. We have precision milling and turning capacity to 12” diameter x 56” length, with nearly no material limitations. Imaginations welcome!
Laser Marking & Cutting
We are able to mark textiles, plastics, wood, black on stainless steel and anodized aluminum. We can cut plastics, wood, leather, rubbers – including Buna, Nitrile and EPDM. Detailed project ideas can start with serialization, bar codes and QR codes, but that is just scratching the surface of what can be done! We have a working area of 1000 mm x 600 mm.

Begin at (1800F-2000F) and reduce the heat as I get closer to shape.
Slow heat to 1475F-1525F, soak if necessary and fully quench in pre-heated quench specific oil.
The first cycle is a "snap temper" at 375F for 1 hour. Subsequent tempering is done at temperatures between 400F-500F depending on the desired hardness of the piece.
