What is First Stage Machining?

First stage machining is the initial manufacturing process where raw material is shaped, cut, or prepared for more detailed machining or finishing work. This stage is crucial in optimising efficiency and reducing production costs, as it ensures that components are correctly formed before secondary operations such as honing, grinding, threading, or heat treatment.

At C.A Honemaster, we utilise advanced machining techniques to provide:

Facing, Turning & Boring – Preparing surfaces for further machining
Drilling & Gun Drilling – Creating precision holes for complex assemblies
Rough & Semi-Finished Machining – Ensuring components meet dimensional accuracy before final finishing
Material Preparation – Cutting and shaping raw materials to specific project requirements
Custom Machining – Tailored solutions for one-off, batch, or large-scale production

By ensuring the highest level of accuracy at this stage, we help manufacturers streamline their processes, improve quality control, and reduce overall lead times.

Quality & Approvals

We take the compliance and that which is defined by ISO 9001 very seriously. 

We use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
