Shaping metal through machining is an old practice. Records reach back to 700 B.C., when manual lathes were the main tool of the trade. Steam power arrived in the 1700s and brought greater efficiency, and the mass production of machine tools later transformed steel manufacturing across the world. Structural Steel Fabrication has followed a similar path. Punch cards drove the technology of the 1940s, while computer aided systems handle the programming today.

We understand how much rides on your manufacturing projects. Poor materials and weak craftsmanship can lead to malfunctions, and the cost of that risk is never small.

At Humesteel, our flexible approach is backed by strong CNC capabilities, which allow us to produce a wide variety of machine components. Quality sits at the centre of our work, and we follow customised OHS policies to hold specified tolerances and keep errors to a minimum. Specialised techniques and machinary capable of producing large volumes of consistent, high quality parts make this possible.

Precision machining and Stainless Steel Fabricatons support assemblies with multiple components across many fields. Aircraft grade aluminium alloys, medical bone drills and custom automotive instruments all pass through workshops like ours.

Our strategy rests on optimisation, coordination and unification. Your requirments come first, and we build bespoke solutions around them. A single component, a full assembly or a complex multi part project, all are within our capability.

The in-house maintenance fitters at Hume Steel can disassemble your machinery for routine check ups or repairs. Faulty or worn parts are identified and documented using our CAD software. Because fabrication happens in-house, replacement parts can be produced quickly, and your machinery is reassembled with minimal downtime so production resumes as soon as possible.

Our machining capabilities can be defined as

  • Milling
  • Threading
  • Surface grinding
  • Turning
  • Drilling
  • Cutting, Cropping & Punching
  • Bar bending

We supply laser cut and machined combination parts, along with parts finished through multiple processes. Heat treatment is available for specific products. Internal thread cutting is offered from one off jobs to multiple parts, and zinc plating options can be arranged as well.
