Exciting things are happening at Fordsell!

We created space on the shop floor by removing two Miyano machines, as they are soon to be replaced with a Hyundai WIA Multi-Tasking Twin Spindle Turning Center!

This upgrade is essential to expanding our capabilities as a company, and to continue providing our customers the parts they need.

Stay tuned to see our new machine in action.

Fordsell is a precision machining company in Warren, MI that specializes in low to mid-volume precision components turned from bar stock up to 42 mm diameter. The thing that makes us different is our focus on collaborative machining. When you give us a part to quote, we pull together a team of machining professionals and industry experts to find the very best way to make each of your parts. This collaboration process consistently results in better parts, more competitive pricing and lower total delivered costs.

Here’s an example of what we’re talking about:
This mission-critical component needed a specific finish to function properly in the final assembly. Too smooth and the part would lose oil. Too rough, it would destroy the seals. Collaborating with the customer, we developed a process for the component to solve the issues. Since that time, we have made more than 1000's of these spools per year, and despite tight tolerances and fussy seals, we have provided these parts with on time delivery and no field failures
