A full complement of industrial machining and fabrication equipment — all in-house, no subcontracting critical operations, all under one Jacksonville roof.
Every machine at A&K is maintained and operated by experienced machinists who understand what it takes to produce parts that actually work in the field.
3-axis CNC vertical machining center for precision milling, drilling, boring, and contouring of complex parts. Ideal for dies, moulds, housings, and tooling plates requiring tight geometric tolerances.
CNC turning center for shafts, bushings, sleeves, pulleys, rollers, and round components. Live tooling capability for off-center features without secondary operations.
Abrasive water jet for cutting flat profiles in virtually any material without heat distortion. Ideal for complex shapes, bevels, and material types that are difficult to cut by other means.
Heavy-duty hydraulic press brake for bending plate and sheet metal to precise angles. Used for enclosures, brackets, frames, and any application requiring formed sheet or plate.
Guillotine shear for straight-line cutting of plate and sheet stock. Produces clean, square cuts without the heat distortion of thermal cutting — essential for weld prep and close-tolerance fit-up.
Plate roll and section roll (roundo) for forming cylinders, cones, curved structural members, pipe caps, and transition pieces. Used for tanks, hoppers, pressure vessel sections, and architectural curved steel.
MIG, TIG, and stick welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Our welders have years of experience in structural, pressure, and precision welding applications. On-site welding available across the Jacksonville metro.
If it's a metal (or in some cases, an engineering plastic), there's a good chance we've machined or fabricated it. Below is a representative list of the materials we regularly process.
| Material | Common Grades | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel | 1018, 1045, 1144 | Shafts, structural, general machining |
| Alloy Steel | 4140, 4340, 8620 | High-strength shafts, gears, dies |
| Tool Steel | A2, D2, H13, O1 | Dies, moulds, cutting tooling |
| Stainless Steel | 304, 316, 17-4 PH | Food, marine, chemical environments |
| Aluminum | 6061, 7075, 2024 | Lightweight parts, aerospace, tooling |
| Brass / Bronze | 360 Brass, C932 Bronze | Bushings, bearings, wear parts |
| Cast Iron | Gray, Ductile | Housings, bases, wear plates |
| AR Plate | AR400, AR500 | High-wear buckets, liners, chutes |
| Engineering Plastics | Delrin, UHMW, Nylon, Acrylic, Polycarbonate | Wear parts, bushings, guards, sight windows |
We work with a wide variety of metals and materials not listed here. If you have a specific material requirement, call and ask — we'll tell you straight away if we can accommodate it.

The machines and materials above are the inputs. Here's how A&K turns them into the right finished part for the job in front of you.
Steel? Aluminum? Stainless? Plate, bar, sheet, tube? The starting form drives every downstream choice — material handling, tooling, sequence, finish.
Mill, lathe, water jet, brake press, roll, weld — we pick the machine combination that fits the geometry, the tolerance class, and the run size.
Setup, first article, in-process checks. The operator owns the part from raw stock through finish — no handoff seams where dimensions drift.
Critical dimensions verified, parts marked or tagged per your QA requirement, shipped with the certs and inspection paperwork your team needs.
Carbon steel (mild and hardened grades), stainless steel (303, 304, 316, 17-4), aluminum (6061, 7075), brass, bronze, copper, cast iron, tool steels, and engineering plastics like UHMW, Delrin, and nylon. If your job calls for something less common — Inconel, titanium, exotic alloys — ask. We've sourced and machined most of them at some point.
Routine work is ±0.005" on machined dimensions. We hit ±0.0005" on critical features when the job calls for it (precision bearings, locating bores, mating surfaces). Tell us which dimensions are critical on your print and we'll work to those tighter limits where it matters — and use shop-standard tolerances everywhere else to keep cost reasonable.
We keep common sizes of mild steel, stainless, aluminum, and standard shafting in stock, so straightforward jobs can start same day. Specialty sizes, alloys, or anything in plate over an inch we order in — usually 1–3 days lead time depending on the supplier. If material lead time matters to your deadline, tell us and we'll source aggressively.
Yes within our envelope: water jet cutting up to 4'×8' plate, brake press up to 10' bend length, our largest CNC lathe swings 24" diameter and handles 60" between centers, and our mill table accepts work up to roughly 50"×24". For parts beyond our shop envelope we can either fabricate in sections and field-weld on site, or coordinate with a partner shop that has the larger machine and finish the work here.
Yes. Request the full capabilities sheet via the contact form or call 904-388-7772 and we'll send you the current PDF — every machine, work envelope, tolerance class, and material we routinely run. Built to drop into your approved-supplier or vendor-qualification packet.
Precision mill and lathe work on the equipment listed above — for production runs, prototypes, and replacement parts.
Plate work, weldments, and structural steel built with the brake press, shear, and roll/roundo capacity in our shop.
Idlers, pulleys, gearbox shafts, and other moving-part inventory machined to spec from the same materials.
