How We Set Ourselves Apart in CNC Assemblies

Quality CNC parts are challenging to find, but not with Amerascrew. The average corporate company in the CNC industry (or any industry) is after one thing and one thing only -- money --, and that's where they get it wrong. To run a quality business, you must establish great founding principles and values that guide the company and its structure. However, that's not the case with most businesses in our industry; this is where outsourcing plays an unfortunate role. Businesses that favor cheap labor over quality labor will typically look for work overseas to cut costs. Although this may be cost-effective in the short term, this can create many problems. For the consumer, this creates a lack of trust because once this happens, the quality of the product often decreases, and the price of the product stays the same. Luckily, Amerascrew is different. Amerascrew values quality, made in the USA parts that will last as long as needed. We don't cut corners, just metal. We wo...

Choose An American Manufacturer!

 Internal Assemblies Matter. It is no surprise when we tell you that most everything you own or manufacture is made overseas in today's world. Often, these foreign goods are created in deplorable conditions and not properly made to fit the customer's exact needs. However, when you choose to work with Amerascrew, you are not only helping to support those hardworking Americans, but you are choosing quality products made right here in the United States. Because most things get sent overseas to be manufactured, the consumer can easily tell the quality of the product is not exactly what they had hoped for. When you choose to have an American company produce the pieces, parts, and things you need, you can definitely see the increased quality.  Big companies and other businesses often make the argument that when you manufacture goods in other countries, it is cheaper. This has been proven to actually be false; we have begun to see a change in cost-effectiveness as it has been shown t...

Plan your future with centerless grinding

  Why Centerless Grinding is Right For Your Projects You may have read one of our more recent articles about what precisely centerless grinding is. Still, you might not fully know the benefits of this type of machinery in comparison to its alternative: the age-old technique of centered grinding.  Centerless grinding has become increasingly popular today because of its efficiency. It is nearly 1.5 times faster than the more traditional method of the two types of grinding, saving a massive amount of time in production. This ensures that you’re receiving your product as quickly as possible. When working on a prompt deadline, centerless grinding is the best method to consider for your projects. Part of the reason centerless grinding is efficient is that it doesn’t require the same unloading process. In addition to being a time-saving method for creating round products, it is also relatively more straightforward and results in a less complicated process. Ultimately, this leave...

The "O" Word: Let's Talk About Outsourcing

If you’re a customer of Amerascrew , you’ll know that we are proud to produce American-made parts. In fact, our website states, “Don’t go overseas when the quality your business needs is right in your own backyard!” So why do so many companies these days send jobs overseas to manufacture products in warehouses in places like China and India? Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of outsourcing. First, manufacturers can find much cheaper labor costs in countries where the living wage is much lower than that of the United States. Avoiding high operating expenses of course means that money is being saved. Second, outsourcing plays a big role in the globalization of a company, and may even create international business allies in developing countries where these jobs are being created. Another benefit of outsourcing is that when so-called “simple” jobs such as assembly are done overseas, the home company can redirect time and energy into the high-dollar administrative tasks or thos...
