Cast iron supply with in-house CNC machine
Metal supplier’s CNC machines fill custom part orders
Lawton Standard, the country’s source of Versa-Bar and continuous cast bronze, has a wide array of CNC machines ready to provide the needed parts. Our warehouse in Wisconsin is also the location of one of our machine shops, letting us create high-quality, finished components ready for use.
Our selection of lathes, CNC machines, and metal saws allows us to make almost any part from continuous cast iron or bronze.
Our CNC machines and machinists can make the necessary parts, from simple bearings and washers to complex helical gears and rotary actuator piston sleeves. Combining the inherent strengths of continuous cast metal with the tight tolerances our machine shop produces means we're more than just a metal stock distributor; we’re a full-service finished part supplier.
If you don’t need a finished part, Lawton Standard can rough out a component for finishing by your in-house machinists. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll make it.
When is continuous cast metal the best choice for your part?
Lower costs and fewer defects make continuous cast iron a great steel alternative. Versa-Bar shines in its reduced machining time. Its superior metallurgy allows machinists to drill, turn,, and mill it much faster than most other materials.
Parts requiring significant amounts of machining benefit the most from continuous cast iron.
Machining times are dramatically reduced when using Versa-Bar. Components requiring several minutes of work or whose material determines the top work speed will be produced faster than continuous cast iron. You will make more parts in less time, increasing your overall shop efficiency and decreasing the cost per part. Lawton Standard will make your business more profitable by supplying higher-quality, lower-cost parts expertly machined out of Versa-Bar continuous cast iron.
