Swiss Screw Machining
for prototype and smaller quantities
We are now capable of handling all of your volumes under one roof.
R.F. Mau Company now offers Swiss screw machining services, expanding our capabilities to handle lower volume orders of complex, precision parts. Swiss screw machining excels at producing intricate components with tight tolerances and exceptional surface finishes, making it ideal for prototypes, specialized parts, and smaller production runs.
This means we can now be your single source for all your precision machining needs, regardless of quantity or complexity. Our growing fleet of Star CNC Swiss machines allows us to produce complex parts with exceptional precision and surface finishes. This capability allows us to serve a wider range of customer needs, from high-volume orders to specialized, low-volume projects – all with the same commitment to quality.
Need a prototype? Our Swiss machines are ideal for creating highly precise prototypes before scaling up to larger production runs. Discuss your complex part requirements with us today!

Smaller Runs and
Complex Geometries
Swiss screw machining offers several key benefits, making it a preferred method for producing small, complex, high-precision parts:
Exceptional Precision and Accuracy: Swiss machines excel at holding extremely tight tolerances, often within ±.0002" or even finer. This is crucial for parts requiring high accuracy and interchangeability.
Superior Surface Finish: The unique design of Swiss machines, with the guide bushing supporting the workpiece close to the cutting tool, results in exceptional surface finishes. This often eliminates the need for secondary finishing operations.
Complex Geometries: Swiss machines can produce parts with intricate shapes, complex features, and very small diameters. The sliding headstock allows for intricate cuts and precise detailing.
High-Volume Capability (Though Not Its Primary Focus): While Swiss machining is often associated with smaller runs, it can also be used for higher volumes when the complexity of the part justifies it. It's not as efficient as multi-spindle screw machines for extremely high volumes of simpler parts.
Reduced Material Waste: The close support of the workpiece minimizes material waste, especially for small diameter parts.
Faster Cycle Times for Complex Parts: For complex parts, Swiss machining can often be faster than other methods because multiple operations can be performed simultaneously.
