Epsilon specialises in machining small parts for scientific instruments, design components, prototypes and small mechanisms. We do not produce volume machining, but can cater for small batches or build complete working mechanisms. The machining of a wide range of materials is possible including Aluminium, Stainlees Steel, Brass, Titanium, Nylon, Acetal and Macor (Ceramic).

Our facilities are clean and well equipped and include a small CNC lathe and milling machine, along with other conventional workshop machines. We are able to work to small tolerances and produce a high quality finish.

We use CAD software and can help with designs and drawings, or produce design solutions for you. It is possible to work from samples or drawings which can be in any format including jpegs, paper drawings or CAD drawings. Use e-mail, telephone, fax, post or visit us to discuss your requirements.
