Special Design Cutting Tools
Are you seeking a special form or step drill, a tailor-made boring bar, or a custom form milling cutter to combine operations together? Your search ends with Rainford! Recognising that one size doesn't suit every need, we understand the drawbacks of relying on standard tools, which can often result in inefficient and unreliable processes.
ALZMETALL
- Geometrically symmetrical structure of the X-Y-Z coordinate carriage, ensuring uniform thermal expansion
- Thermal stability at Tool Centre Point (TCP) in the X-Y plane without compensation
- Ultra-high rigidity and vibration dampening qualities due to nodular cast iron framework resulting in superior tool performance
- Optimised contour accuracy at high path speeds
- Extremely high parallel traversing accuracy due to double drives in the X and Y axes
Kern Micro CNC Milling Machines
- One of the world’s leading suppliers of exceptional quality CNC milling machines
- Unbeatable reputation for producing the most accurate machining centres
- Combines performance, reliability and ultra-precision machining capability
- Delivers exceptional precision for demanding manufacturing applications
- Trusted globally for high-accuracy machining solutions
Kern Fortis HD
- The Kern Fortis HD brings the highest quality and maximum productivity, powered by the Kern micro-gap hydrostatic, lightweight aluminium architecture and linear direct drives
- This Combination results in a machine for producing high-precision parts in series production
- Which ensures exceptional accuracy under controlled environmental conditions.
Kern Pyramid Nano
- The Pyramid Nano machining centre is KERN’s 3-axis masterpiece and one of the highest precision machines available for regular production in the world
- This highly advanced machine’s base is constructed from KERN Amorith, a material developed with exceptional tensile strength and minimal thermal conductivity
Benzinger
- Founded in 1916, Carl Benzinger began as a manufacturer of turning and milling machines in Pforzheim, Germany, initially serving the jewellery and watchmaking industries
- By 1941, under the management of the Jehle family, the company transitioned into CNC lathe production
- Establishing itself as a leader in high-precision machining.
Finepart Waterjet Machines
- Abrasive waterjet machines have traditionally been regarded as inaccurate roughing machines requiring large amounts of space and huge water tanks
- Thanks to developments in technology, Finepart’s 500mm x 500mm cutting table machine is not only compact, it is one of the most advanced pieces of equipment on the market
- Finepart’s next generation non-thermal micro abrasive waterjet machines are made with state-of-the-art components to provide the ultimate finish in precision cutting and their small footprint means they are suitable in any type of workshop environment
- The absence of heat effect in the cutting process also makes them perfectly suited to industries such as medical and aerospace where heat affected zones are prohibited on certain components
Jewellery & Watch Machines
- The GORing lathe is a specialised turning center designed exclusively for crafting rings, with an uncompromising focus on achieving the highest surface quality
- It utilizes diamond tools to produce a brilliant, shiny finish directly during the turning process
- The GORing R2 model transforms a blank into a finished ring in a single, complete operation
- Its high productivity and flexibility come from an automatic loader/unloader, a vast array of turning tools, a rotary table (B axis), and milling spindles
- An optional Y-axis greatly simplifies setup for diamond tools by allowing easy, automated height adjustment
- Furthermore, the machine is exceptionally user-friendly, featuring parameterised CNC programs and a special interface for intuitive operation and programming
PEMTec Machines
- Across industries like aerospace, automotive and medical, the demand for ultra-precise machined parts continues to grow
- While traditional CNC machining offers impressive accuracy, the PECM (Precision Electromechanical Machining) process takes accuracy and efficiency to a new level, shaping metal workpieces with micron-level accuracy, all without any physical contact between the tool and the material
Innolite Machines
- The strategic partnership between Innolite, a leader in ultra-precision machining technology, and us - marks a pivotal advancement for precision manufacturing in the UK and Ireland
- This collaboration merges Innolite’s cutting-edge diamond turning machines and optics technologies with our deep industry expertise and customer-focused service
- Together, we aim to elevate performance standards across industries such as optics, aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing, delivering the high-accuracy solutions modern manufacturers require
- With an emphasis on innovation, technical support, and local service, this alliance ensures companies in the UK are equipped to meet rising demands for precision and complexity - now and into the future

Testimonials
I would like to say thank you for your assistance so far. We have only drilled 4 x 0.80mm holes 50d deep but the fact they worked the first time was appreciated by everyone.
We use OSG mainly but when we have a specific job that needs doing, we come to Rainford Precision because they are and do the Crème De La Crème of Products and services.
The End Mill was an ideal choice due to the unusual shape and the need to have a small radius. They turned out great, and the surface finish is really good.
I would like to say thank you for the help you have given our project over the last few years. Your advice on the correct cutters plus the right speeds and feeds has not only helped with accuracy but brought the cycle times down so we can meet our project deadlines.
Thank you for making that so incredibly easy and prompt.
We received your delivery this morning as you had promised to do for us, thanks for that, it is great when a plan comes together.
A diamond service from Rainford as usual. The success of our company is very much down to the external support received from Key organisations such as Rainford Precision. Your company is one of the first I will always turn to assist us.
Before working with Rainford Precision, I was struggling on achieving the sub-micron surface finish necessary on the components I was producing. What stood out was their excellent response times and eagerness/dedication to find the absolute best tool for my application. Thanks to their expertise in the field, I was able to achieve a surface roughness of less than 200nm as well as extend my tool life span. I would recommend Rainford Precision to anyone needing high-quality tooling which from my experience stands out far above the rest.
