Stainless steel nut production on our 1 3/4" x6 Wickman multispindle
Part of our multispindle section handling high volume work with consistent quality and efficient cycle times
Always glad to support team, friends and colleagues with projects where scale and repeatability matter

Off-centre milled holes.
Undercut relief on a turned part.
Tight access. Tight tolerances.
This is where detail matters.
Getting into those awkward areas and delivering the same result, every time, takes real control and consistency.
Small features. High standards. Repeated, every pass.
Out of thousands of components on this job, these 4 were the only internal rejects.
That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
Two have nearly missing grooves, but there are two other clear defects as well. Anyone spot them?
Bonus question… what do you think these become when finished?
Precision machining starts with the right material.
Many components begin as turned bar, with additional capability from billets and castings.
That flexibility helps deliver the right solution for every project.
What does your next component start from?
We have been delivering complex, high quality work like this non stop for years.
Consistently. At scale. Through evolving requirements and increasing expectations.
Complexity is where we operate best. We structure it, manage it, and execute with precision while maintaining the highest standards.
Some clients demand tight tolerances. Others require specific surface finishes. This part needs both. Add symmetrical geometry, and orientation control becomes critical. Delivering that consistently at scale is where robust process control makes the difference.
This level of control is not a one off achievement for us. It's our standard practice. Our team completes orders to this specification every working day, delivering consistent quality at scale.
With a minimum order quantity of 5,000 parts, we are set up for repeatable, high-volume precision.
AS9100D compliant aluminium aerospace component.
Tight tolerances. Full traceability. Documented inspection.
If we can support your current or upcoming aerospace programmes, I am happy to discuss.

“Wait… something’s off. Which one is the larger part?”

We make these every year.
There is a reason they keep coming back.

Here is a part I first photographed about three years ago. At a glance it looks the same, and that is the point. Reliability and consistent quality keep us trusted year after year, while small refinements quietly improve production time and repeatability.
“It’s alive!”
Dr Frankenstein says it in the movie. Mary Shelley never wrote it in the book.
Our machine is finally up and running! We would have shared sooner, but harmonic resonance briefly turned the bar and part into a giant tuning fork.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone here at West End Precision.
Thank you to our customers, partners, and friends for your continued support throughout the year. We look forward to working with you again in the years ahead.
Ths full run of the WEP panels are now installed. Great work from Alco Engineering (High Bullen, Torrington).
should we add LED's to make them glow?
Finishing touches going into this part of the factory.
Always satisfying peeling back the protective film and seeing the WEP logo come through.
Thinking about taking it a step further… should we add LEDs to make them glow?
Thank you to @alcoengineering for this perfect work!
Our new Star SB 16III is finally in place. We have shared a few updates already, but this timelapse shows the moment it all came together
The big win is efficiency. It will run certain jobs much faster which helps us keep costs down and stay competitive.
Always happy to chat if you want to know more
Everyone here at West End Precision take a lot of pride in the quality of the work we deliver. High quality expectations only matter if you can meet them and that is why we always invest in the latest tooling and machines to keep raising the bar.
A behind the scenes look at West End Precision. The team is reconfiguring the factory to make room for a new machine. It’s a bit of organized chaos right now, but we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
National Engineering Day reminds us how much the world relies on skilled people doing great work.
At West End Precision, we’re a small part of a huge global infrastructure — proud to do our bit and keep things moving.
When you say you're "going to get a drink" and end up cursed in a haunted forest... management says this probably counts as a break.
Happy Halloween from everyone here at West End Precision! May your coffee breaks end up slightly less cursed.
Small changes, big improvements
Two parts that look the same, but the difference is in the detail. Better machines and tooling now give perfect size and finish in one go. Progress isn’t always big — sometimes it’s measured in microns.
Put it to the team to come up with a caption for this week’s showcase. So what was the winning line? ‘We don’t chase perfection — we manufacture it.’ Hard to argue with that.

Another job up and running with parts being checked and packed as we speak. Our skilled team is keeping the momentum going. If you want experienced help with your manufacturing challenges or just a quote we are here to support you.
These parts are still in the setup stage. A micrometre would show they’re a few microns out of spec, but that’s all part of the process. Even at this stage, the detail is already looking impressive.

Big push in the factory this week!
These parts came off the machine, went straight to inspection, and I managed to grab them for a quick photo before they were rushed off to be packed.
If you have orders that need completing or would like a quote, get in touch. We have capacity and we are ready.

I was looking for some parts to photograph and found these about to be packed up for the client. Managed to sneak in a quick photo before they hit the road, our little quality inspector insisted on it.

Some things are best kept between us and our customers.
That’s why we filmed this project at a shallow angle, so the logos stay out of view. It’s a small detail, but it’s one way we protect our customers’ privacy while still sharing the great work we’re proud of.

Achieving perfect concentricity in aluminium rings this thin is no small feat
It takes the right setup experience and attention to detail to get it right
This part could be a problem
But our team handled it with confidence and precision
Just another example of how we turn challenge into solid result
