Metalworking is the process of working with metals to create individual component parts, assemblies, or large scale structures. Phillips Machine & Stamping Corp.'s machine shop includes a number of machine tools capable of creating a precise, useful workpiece.
Metalworking generally is divided into the following categories, forming, cutting, and, joining. Each of our categories contain various processes.
Prior to most operations, the metal must be marked out and/or measured, depending on the desired finished product.
Marking out (also known as layout) is the process of transferring a design or pattern to a workpiece and is the first step in the handcraft of metalworking. At Phillips Machine & Stamping Corp., marking out consists of transferring your plan to the workpiece in preparation for the next step, machining or manufacture.
