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...

Is CNC Machining a Better Solution than Manual Machining?

Is CNC machining really superior to manual production? What do you associate with the word "automated?" Poor quality? Inauthentic? Inhumane? Because of its connotations, some frown upon automatic processes, such as an automatic machining process called Computer Numerical Control. For those who protest automatic systems, manual machining is thought of as a more personalized, and therefore more quality process. We're here to address that myth-- CNC machining is superior to manual machining for a number of reasons:  CNC machining is versatile CNC technology can create a variety of complex shapes and complicated designs that manual production simply cannot compete with. This special g-coded technology allows us to use fewer machines to cut through dense material at any angle. This efficient and precise method gives us options that are nearly limitless.  CNC machining speeds up product delivery rates  Because the software within the computers is able to execute multiple action...

Why You Should Use Precision Turned Components

The Benefits of Internal Assembling

          It is no secret that many manufacturers have been taking their work overseas because it is cheaper in some cases and they can mass produce what they need to meet their market needs daily. This accounts for a large part of businesses; however, we are starting to see that manufacturing operations can be more cost effective and competitive if they stay in the United States. In this article, we will go over some of the benefits of internal assembly and show you why it may be better for you to keep your manufacturing business right at home.      Companies that have successfully located manufacturing and assembly activity in the U.S. are using foreign trade zones to help improve supply-chain efficiency, reduce costs, and stay compliant with Customs and Border protection. Because FTZ’s are outside of the Customs Territory, the operator may choose to pay the duty rate on the finished product or the part, whatever is cheaper. You can be gr...

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...

How CNC Machining Works

The term CNC stands for 'computer numerical control', and the CNC machining definition is that it is a subtractive manufacturing process which typically employs computerized controls and machine tools to remove layers of material from a stock piece—known as the blank or workpiece—and produces a custom-designed part. This process is suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, glass, foam, and composites, and finds application in a variety of industries, such as large CNC machining and CNC machining aerospace parts. The automated nature of CNC machining enables the production of high precision and high accuracy, simple parts and the cost-effectiveness when fulfilling one-off and medium-volume production runs. Before the operator runs the CNC program, they must prepare the CNC machine for operation. These preparations include affixing the workpiece directly into the machine, onto machinery spindles, or into machine vices or similar devices, and attach...

Short History of Screw Machines

Manufacturing truly is the backbone of America. Everything we have, use, and look at is a product of manufacturing. Often we thinking of that as the "putting together" of pieces of equipment, technology and such to create the product we see. But you have to stop and think, where did those pieces come from? Say you just bought a new desk and you need to assemble it. The screws and drawer rollers and other various metal and plastic parts contained in the kit come from somewhere and were made by someone. Now is when you start to realize that manufacturing actually has layers before the product gets to you!  Those metal and plastic parts are often made by a separate manufacturer through a process known as screw machining.  A screw machine comprises a hollow spindle and cams. A bar is fed into the machine, and the unwanted material is chipped away to create different types of screws, studs, and bolts. Automatic screw machines are types of metal working lathes, which are u...
