Machining Precision
Our Coldwater facility offers a variety of precision machining services from prototype development to finished parts to multiple units or complete machines including manufacturing and assembly. With nearly 50 machine tools (see our list below) for milling, turning, boring, drilling and grinding, we are a one stop source for your machining needs including 5-axis machining capability. We consistently achieve close tolerance machining even on large parts in sizes up to 236-in. x 98-in., helping to meet the accuracy and repeatability required for your particular processes. And, we work with partners who are NADCAP certified for critical finishing processes.
We recently added a jig bore to our Coldwater operations. This machine features components made with extremely tight tolerances and rigidity, enabling it to achieve positioning accuracies of +.00004-in. (1µm). Often referred to as a “mother machine”, we are using the jig bore to make components for machine tools, as well as for the automotive, aerospace, electronics and semi-conductor industries.
Of course, anyone can purchase a precision machine, but it is the tool makers and machinists are our Coldwater facility who bring a high level of skill to our CNC operations so that we can achieve a higher standard of quality.
In addition to our machining of prototype and low volume components, the Lincoln Electric Coldwater facility offers the manufacturing and assembly of complete machines. As your manufacturing partner, we guarantee complete confidentiality regarding your designs, allowing your company to concentrate on advancing your technology while leaving the build to us. Our combination of machining experts, skilled tradesmen and cutting-edge tools will result in equipment of the highest quality for you and your customers.
The Coldwater facility features on-site static load testing and fatigue load testing services to validate the integrity of machined workpieces and fixtures. Static load tests are used to determine the machined structure’s ability to handle loads. With fatigue load testing, we prove out how cyclic forces will affect a product or material over time.
Our in-floor test bed is 60” x 96” in size and equipped with two overhead cranes of 10- and 25-tons. Machining tombstones are added for additional weight as needed, so that Coldwater can offer test loads of up to 000,000,000 lbs.

Coldwater Machine supported a customer for the development of their Laser Peening System. Laser peening is a surface enhancement process that imparts superior reliability and performance into metal parts through improved fatigue life and damage tolerance.
This transport rig was manufactured by Coldwater Machine to support jet engines during transport to test rigs for performance testing. Depending upon the situation, Coldwater can work from a supplied design or engineer and manufacture a complete solution for precision applications.
