Complete Precision Services
At LDC Engineering Ltd, delivering precision isn’t limited to one machine or process. Their workshop in West Yorkshire is fully equipped to offer a comprehensive suite of machining services, allowing customers to complete complex jobs without the need for multiple subcontractors. These services include CNC milling, CNC turning, radial drilling, and surface grinding — all carried out in-house by experienced engineers.
CNC Milling
CNC milling is ideal for shaping flat or contoured surfaces with precision. LDC Engineering uses advanced milling machines to produce slots, grooves, pockets, and complex forms. They work with a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminium, and nylon, and support everything from prototypes to large production runs. This service is vital in sectors like toolmaking, automotive, and general engineering where accuracy and repeatability are essential.
CNC Turning
CNC turning is used to create cylindrical components such as shafts, bushings, and threads. With CNC-controlled lathes, LDC delivers high precision on round parts, clean surface finishes, and tight tolerances across different metals and plastics. CNC turning is particularly valuable for parts that rotate or need to fit accurately into moving assemblies.
Radial Drilling
Radial drilling is essential for larger or awkward components where hole placement needs to be precise but flexible. LDC’s radial drilling service allows for drilling multiple holes without repositioning the workpiece, reaching difficult areas with the adjustable arm, and handling heavy or oversized materials. This service supports industries like fabrication, toolmaking, and heavy engineering.
Surface Grinding
When flatness, finish, and tight tolerances matter, surface grinding is the go-to process. LDC Engineering’s large surface grinder, with a table size of 1500mm x 500mm x 350mm, is ideal for finishing large plates, bases, and blocks. It ensures smooth, accurate surfaces ready for assembly and maintains consistent tolerances across multiple parts. This is especially beneficial for components used in jigs, fixtures, and precision equipment.
