The Right Tool for
Every Job

A full complement of industrial machining and fabrication equipment — all in-house, no subcontracting critical operations, all under one Jacksonville roof.

Equipment

Our Machine Shop

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.

01

CNC Mill

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.

Carbide and HSS tooling
Tight tolerance capability
Complex 3D profiles
02

CNC Lathe

CNC turning center for shafts, bushings, sleeves, pulleys, rollers, and round components. Live tooling capability for off-center features without secondary operations.

Shafts, sleeves, rollers
Threading, grooving, knurling
Wide range of diameters
03

Water Jet Cutter

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.

No heat-affected zone
Complex flat profiles
Steel, aluminum, stone, composite
04

Brake Press

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.

Plate and sheet bending
Precise angle control
Multiple tooling configurations
05

Power Shear

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.

Clean straight cuts
Precise length control
No heat distortion
06

Roll / Roundo

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.

Cylinders and cones
Structural sections (angle, channel)
Full or partial roll
Welding

Certified Welding — In Shop & On Site

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.

Don't See Your Material?

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.

Reverse Engineering

Don't have a drawing or material callout? Our machinists can analyze a worn part and identify the probable material from hardness, color, and machining characteristics — then reproduce it.

Our Process

How We Pick the Right Tool for Your Job

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.

01

Material & Geometry

Steel? Aluminum? Stainless? Plate, bar, sheet, tube? The starting form drives every downstream choice — material handling, tooling, sequence, finish.

02

Equipment Match

Mill, lathe, water jet, brake press, roll, weld — we pick the machine combination that fits the geometry, the tolerance class, and the run size.

03

Run with In-Process QC

Setup, first article, in-process checks. The operator owns the part from raw stock through finish — no handoff seams where dimensions drift.

04

Inspection & Documentation

Critical dimensions verified, parts marked or tagged per your QA requirement, shipped with the certs and inspection paperwork your team needs.

Common Questions

Capabilities & Materials FAQ

What materials do you work with regularly?

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.

What tolerances can you hold?

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.

Do you keep stock material on hand or do you order per job?

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.

Can you handle large or heavy parts on your equipment?

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.

Do you provide a capabilities data sheet I can share internally?

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.
