Our Capabilities

We manufacture precision tooling, dies, components and other special wear parts to customer print.  We hold tight tolerances on these products made from tungsten carbides, ceramics and hardened steels.  We are equipped with machinery, processing techniques and experience to produce miniature parts with OD’s or ID’s as small as .002″ (.0508mm). Conventional-size production is to 6.000″ (152.4mm) in diameter, up to 18″ (457mm) between centers.  Whether your part requires tight tolerances, it’s a small part or requires a high finish and lapping, we are the company that can do it all!

R&D or Production Runs, we hold Tight-Tolerances on any Volume

We can produce, economically, in any lot size.  Whether your application requires one piece for research and development or several thousands of pieces for full-on production, we can build to your needs.  Many companies will shy away from single-piece orders, but we look at this as an opportunity to show you what we are capable of.  Contact Us to review your drawings and determine pricing and delivery for your parts.      

Our decades of experience with small, precise carbide parts is extensive. 

Holding tight tolerances and small part lapping is critical at GLE-Precision.  When we say the tight tolerances we hold are “Beyond Belief”, we mean it.  Many companies can say they are the capabilities to hold tight tolerances, but not many can inspect what they say they can hold.  Many companies also think .0001″ is a tight tolerance.   At GLE-Precision, we agree .0001″ might be hard to told, but for us, that is just the beginning.  We lap holes as standard procedure as small as .004″ (.1016mm) to a tolerance of .000050″ (.00127mm) in roundness and size.  The ID is concentric to an OD to .000050″ (.00127mm), with finishes to .4RA  (.01016 micron) or less.  Depending on the application, the surface finish can be decreased (better) than a .4RA (.01016 micron) if needed.  

Conforming to Quality with Tight Tolerances

These accuracies are satisfactory for most applications, but we can handle closer tolerances where required. Precision becomes easier as the holes increase in diameter, but with this contrast, the competition within the market increases.  As precision machinists, we like to do the unthinkable and the absurd.  There is way more competition in the market of .0001″ tolerances than .000003″ tolerance parts.  GLE-Precision has the ability to inspect and certify dimensions per your requirements.  In 2018, GLE-Precision received AS9100 Rev. D Aerospace Certification.  This certification has helped GLE-Precision enter the Aerospace and Defense market by storm.  Our company also holds Quality Standards to ISO 9001:2015 and maintains a top-notch Quality Management System.
