At Goodwinds, we operate a fully equipped CNC machining department dedicated exclusively to cutting, turning, milling, drilling, and grinding composite materials. We are a leading technical authority on all aspects of composite machining and capable of upholding close dimensional tolerances when processing carbon fiber, graphite, and fiberglass rods and tubes.

With our extensive background in composites machining, we have the hands-on experience necessary for choosing the most appropriate cutting tools for these abrasive materials. Our machining operators pay careful attention to tool machining time and sharpness to ensure consistent cutting performance. We also know how to obtain workholding solutions for small diameter rods and tubes, set machining speeds based on the material makeup, and drill through composites without separating the fiber layers.

Specifically, our capabilities include a full line of milling operations such as slotting, notching, and hole drilling in tubes and rods. We custom cut tubes and rod into specific lengths at tolerances to ±0.005", and we carry out machining and lathe work for end forming, such as chamfering and tapering. Our custom centerless grinder is set up specifically for processing composite rods and tubes measuring up to 72.0" in length with diameters in the 0.040" to 1.0" range. We offer grinding tolerances to 0.0005" and surface finishes that range from smooth to slightly roughed or coarse finishes perfect for bonding.

As a leading manufacturer of composite rod and tube, we have an abundance of standard sizes in stock ready for machining. We also machine customer-supplied materials. For more information about our carbon fiber and fiberglass CNC machining capabilities or our custom composite manufacturing capabilities, contact us directly.
