Over the past several years, HFW Industries has significantly expanded its machining capabilities. These investments include new state-of-the-art CNC equipment and a growing team of highly skilled machinists, strengthening our ability to support complex manufacturing, repair, and assembly work in one facility.
While HFW has long been known for high-quality machining of large components, we now offer CNC machining across a broader range of part sizes and complexity. This expansion allows us to support higher-volume production, tighter tolerances, and fully integrated assembly projects as part of our one-source reliability model.
Why Expanded Machining Capability Matters
For reliability and maintenance engineers, machining is rarely a standalone operation. Dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and geometric consistency directly affect coating performance, wear life, and overall equipment reliability.
By expanding our in-house machining capacity, HFW reduces vendor handoffs, improves process control, and ensures coated, hardfaced, and finished components meet exact performance requirements.

Integrated Machining, Coating, and Restoration Services
Alongside machining, HFW provides weld overlays and thermal spray coatings to extend equipment life and restore components operating in corrosive, high-wear environments.
By offering machining, hardfacing, thermal spray, precision grinding, and finishing within a single facility, we eliminate the coordination challenges that often arise when multiple vendors are involved.
The result is greater confidence that components are properly prepared, coated, finished, and documented for long-term service.
Additional In-House Services
- Dynamic Balancing
- Precision Grinding
- Superfinishing
- Assembly
- Project Management
These services allow HFW to deliver turnkey manufacturing and repair solutions for critical equipment across power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, and high-tech applications.

FAQ: Machining Capabilities at HFW Industries
What types of parts can HFW machine?
HFW machines a wide range of components, from large shafts and housings to smaller, more complex parts requiring CNC precision. Capabilities support both manufacturing and repair projects.
How does machining integrate with coatings and hardfacing?
Machining is fully integrated with HFW’s weld overlay, thermal spray, and precision grinding services. This ensures proper surface preparation, dimensional control after coating, and consistent quality throughout the process.
Why is one-source machining important for reliability?
One-source machining reduces vendor handoffs, improves communication, and ensures accountability for final performance. This is especially important for critical equipment where tolerances, surface finish, and coating performance directly impact service life.
Does HFW support production and assembly work?
Yes. Expanded CNC machining capabilities allow HFW to support production machining, assembly, and project-managed work scopes in addition to custom repair services.
