Chainstream (UK) Ltd

Many companies prefer to use grease and polluting chemicals to clean off the surface - we, however, find that this leads to a less desirable finish all in all. As such, we utilise shot blasting in order to provide you with the perfect starting surface for both new and reconditioned items.

Whether it's a single pre-production sample or a high volume production run, our modern, networked machines can easily and quickly create the products you want directly from your supplied CAD data.

What we can deliver:

• Pocketing

• Fin work

• Thin wall machining

• Working prototypes

• Foundry patterns

• Lay-up tools

• EDM tooling

• Pressure die-cast tooling

• Tooling inserts

• Brass components

A variety of materials

From aluminium to most alloys and non-ferrous metals, we can provide you with excellent milling, suitable especially for use in the automotive, railway, architectural, and general engineering sectors.
