Casting Machining — Castings Machined to Your Drawing
MACHINED CASTINGS · SAND & INVESTMENT · DELIVERED READY TO INSTALL
Kormax supplies castings machined to your drawing and ready to install. Most castings need some machining before they go into service: sealing faces, bores, threaded holes and mating surfaces held to tolerance. We arrange that machining with the casting, so you receive one finished part from one supplier, not a raw casting that still needs a machine shop.
Machining is carried out at our foundry network or at specialist machine shops that work alongside them. Kormax manages the whole job, from casting and machining through inspection and delivery, against your drawing and specification.

Why Buy Castings Already Machined
One supplier for the finished part.
Kormax is accountable for the casting and the machining.
Machining planned at design stage.
Machining allowance and locating datums are set when the casting is designed, not discovered at the machine. See Casting Design Services.
Inspected before it ships.
Parts are checked against your drawing before they leave, so you receive components ready for assembly.
Quality: PPAP and QC
Every machined casting is delivered through Kormax’s PPAP and QC process, built around your drawing and specification. PPAP documentation is provided when your program requires it.
From Design to Finished Part
Machining is step three of a Kormax casting project. It is not sold on its own.
STEP 01
Casting design
Manufacturability, alloy choice and simulation before the pattern is made.
STEP 02
Sand or investment casting
Size ranges, alloys and what each process suits.
STEP 03 · YOU ARE HERE
Machining
Turning, milling, drilling and tapping, to your drawing.
STEP 04
Inspection and delivery
Checked against your drawing under our PPAP and QC process.
