Precision First Stage Machining for Industrial-Grade Component Production
At C.A Honemaster, we offer specialised first stage machining services, providing precision-engineered components that serve as the foundation for further machining, assembly, or finishing. With over 40 years of industry expertise, we deliver accurate, high-quality, and efficient first-stage machining solutions, tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients across various industries.
Our skilled engineers work with a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium, and specialist alloys, ensuring that every component is precisely machined and ready for the next phase of production.

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.
