Finished Cast Iron
Finished cast iron services include drilling, rough turning and machining
CNC machining professionals at Lawton Standard have over 30 years of experience performing various advanced engineering techniques to form custom continuous cast iron components.
We utilize new tooling and coolant technologies to machine at rates equal to or surpassing aluminum, steel, or bronze. The metallurgical makeup of Versa-Bar alone achieves greater machining rates. Well-dispersed graphite in our continuous cast iron provides several cost-saving benefits, allowing us to produce custom metal components at a fraction of the cost.

Versa-Bar can achieve 30% higher turning speeds, increasing tool life and decreasing manpower expenses. Tiny recesses in microscopic granite flakes in Versa-Bar continuous cast iron promote lubrication retention, meaning the parts last longer because they remain lubricated longer than regular steel or aluminum.
Better machine rates mean quicker production and lower prices
Due to its favorable physical characteristics, continuous cast iron from Lawton Standard expedites turning and milling, drilling, and saw cutting.
Versa-Bar continuous cast iron is an excellent alternative to steel or aluminum. Machining a Versa-Bar hydraulic cylinder was 45% less expensive than producing a piston using the cheapest grade of aluminum.
Investing in custom continuous cast iron machined components from Lawton Standard takes a huge step toward increasing machine and tool life. You save money and receive high-quality custom components that will last you longer than any other you will find in the industry.
