Precision Tooling

The milling department at Talbar utilizes 2 Axis NC controlled mills that minimize programming and setup time. Our Grind department is capable of maintaining tolerances within .0001 on profile and position. Radius dressers, magnetic squaring blocks, magna signs, indexable grinding fixtures, whatever the customers job requires, we have the support equipment to get the job done. We utilize the Dedtru system for centerless grinding and Moore Jig Grinders for other precision ID/OD Grinding. Our Ram EDM department can design and build any electrode no matter how challenging the application. Our CNC Sinkers offer exceptional accuracy with efficient erosion time. The wire edm department can cut with wire as small as .006 diameter, in steel or carbide applications. All these assets combined with experienced toolmakers enable us to be competitive with any market in the United States.

General Machining and Precision Milling and Turning

Many of our customers have a need for low cost finish milled parts requiring nothing more than a rust preventative or wear resistant plating. We have machining cells specifically designed to meet those needs while still applying the same high quality standards and procedures that we provide on all products manufactured across the company.
For those customers requiring high precision milling and turning, we have cells tailored to meet those needs. We are able to finish mill and turn within .0002 on feature size and .0004 on true position. We excel in Hard Milling and turning tools steels up to 62 RC. We also have experience milling carbide in certain applications. With these capabilities we are able to eliminate costly grind operations before and after heat treat, resulting in cost savings to the customer and shortened leadtimes.

Additional Processes We Support

Talbar Tool and Die is strategically located in an industrial hub. Typically all the products and services required to meet our customers needs are within a few miles of our facility. The vast majority of material requirements, heat treat, welding and plating is all supported by our local supply base who are quick to react within 24 hours. This is an essential part of our quick turn capabilities.
