Kernell’s Automatic Machining (KAM) is a premier provider of cost-effective, accurate, and flexible Swiss CNC machining services. With over 50 years of experience, we can deliver quality products that meet the needs of even the toughest jobs.

Compared to screw machining, which involves removing material from a rotating workpiece, Swiss CNC machining relies on pre-programmed instructions to direct the movement of tooling and make the desired cuts. This results in the ability to handle more delicate parts with improved speed, repeatability, precision, and versatility. Since Swiss CNC machining is a computer-driven process, it also allows for a high degree of part-to-part consistency.

Various industries and applications rely on Swiss CNC turning centers for precision machined parts, including:

  • Entertainment
  • Food and Beverage
  • Lawn and Garden
  • Agriculture
  • Aerospace
  • Military
  • Medical
  • Consumer
  • Industrial
  • Automotive
  • Hobby
  • Wire Rope Fittings
  • Locks
  • Fan Shaft Hubs
