Cost or quality? Or both? Everyone grapples with this conundrum. However, dodgy parts are at the root of many engineering failures.
In aerospace manufacturing, the choice of metal makes a big difference. This is because different metals behave differently when under stress, when heated, and when cooled.
The aerospace market experiences scrutiny like few others. Financial accountability is coupled with moral accountability, and brands can be extinguished with minor errors.
Hone-All's long association with the aerospace industry includes honing, drilling and boring services for bespoke parts, from landing gear for military aircraft to pistons for helicopter rotors.
Gun drilling is the ideal process for drilling small diameter holes without losing straightness and precision.
Gundrilling is a specialised art, so there can be a lot of confusion about basic variables such as time, cost, and quality.
For our machines to work their best, we need to feed them accurate information. Here are a few pitfalls that can occur in the world of precision drilling, and how you can avoid them.
Think packaging is easy? Think again! There are multiple hurdles to navigate, and one of these is quality.
In todays world, quality can sometimes be sacrificed due to budget constraints. When competition is fierce, or deadlines tight, it’s a case of looking for any way that pennies or time can be saved.
The most inspirational individuals working in British industry in 2018, according to The Manufacturer Top 100 have been revealed.
If there is one thing that we all want to be sure about when heading into a hospital environment, it is that we are stepping into a world of precision equipment.
It is often the “tool room” that gets over looked within a machine shop.
A few months ago, we had one of those e-mails. The ones we often tend to bypass to get to the e-mails from customers or contacts but this one peaked my interest.
The Governments Industrial Strategy has been discussed and debated over recent months and as several have said, there are many great ideas but fewer specific commitments...
Recruitment has changed so much over the years, mainly due to the massive skills gap our industry is facing but also the meteoric rise of recruitment agencies serving the sector.

Originally
formed as a sub-contract honing company,
Hone-All Precision
discovered a recurring problem experienced by the purchasers and
specifiers of sub-contract machining: |

The Guide
To Deep Hole |

The result is a single source manufacturer able to supply materials
and completely machine components up to 3 metres in length to the
highest quality standards and within one facility. This ensures the
control of cost and quality, effective communication and
traceability second to none. This combined with a positive
commitment to excellent customer service; effective communication
through teamwork and partnerships ensures the highest standards of
service and quality at the most competitive rates. |

I would like to say if all companies were as conscientious, informative and professional as Hone All the industry would be a lot better place. My project in the scheme of things to yourselves was a straight forward job but one I could not do myself in my home workshop, I thank you for taking on my small cottage industry project you excelled. The shame is it was only a one off job for me, I would recommend you to anyone.
It was extremely refreshing to walk into a supplier that cares about their customers and especially to see a solid effort made by everyone to ensure that the whole experience is positive. I was very impressed with the professionalism of yourself and it was clear, that is carried right through to the team working on the factory floor. This doesn’t happen overnight and requires a certain level of dedication and passion at each level of the organization. I left today with a very positive feeling that next critical stage of this project is now in the right hands.
Thank you for taking the time to speak to me, I can only imagine how busy you are, and any correspondence regarding the Aero exhibition and your company has been greatly received. I always follow the press releases on Hone All with great interest as I find all information about your company very informative and interesting. While running and working for a small engineering company it is always very refreshing to read about other small businesses growing, and being able to extract useful information and ideas has been very beneficial. Some of the items from articles have been discussed and acted upon within my company. Sometimes the articles confirm and enhance existing ideas, and I find it quite reassuring to read that an idea does work elsewhere.
Please can you pass on a huge thank you to all those involved in turning this job around in such a short timescale; It has been a pleasure working with you.
Sunnen Products Limited have been dealing with Hone-All Precision Ltd for over 15 years and have found them to be a very forward thinking and progressive Company, this forward thinking has given them a well laid out and well organised new premises which has enhanced the way they conduct their business. When calling either in person or on the telephone to Hone-All you are always met with a friendly reception and an easy of manner, which makes it a pleasure to do business with. It shows the Companies forward thinking in achieving the accreditations they have I would like to wish them all the success in the future.
It is rare to find a company that make the commitment to a long-term, rewarding partnership with the University. Hone-All is one of the exceptions and the benefits flow both ways. One area in which they have consistently invested and are always open to new ideas is staff development focused on continuous improvement of business and production processes.
