Metalworking

Machining, fabrication and metal processing

We work hand in hand with machine shops, machinery manufacturers, die shops and spare parts suppliers that transform steels and metals into custom parts, structures and tooling. It is a very diverse industry, where turning, milling, cutting, welding, forming and dimensional inspection coexist, and where each project demands a different material selected for its strength, hardness, toughness, wear behavior and machinability. At NAT MAC we offer a wide variety of machinery-grade, tool-grade, carbon and stainless steels, along with aluminum, copper, bronze and brass, in the shapes and sizes the shop needs. We add band saw blades, cutting and machining lubricants and measuring equipment, plus cut-to-size service and advice to choose the grade that performs best. This helps every part come out right the first time, reducing waste, rework and downtime.
