Precision Engineering
GB Precision specialises in offering the highest quality precision engineering;
including Wire EDM, Diesink EDM and full CNC machining and grinding services.
Our policy of continuous investment ensures that we can offer customers the
benefits of the latest machine tool technology.
Through this investment, including our off-line palletisation system, we have reduced
setting and cutting times, improved productivity, achieved better surface finish and
increased reliability, providing our customers with premium quality work – quality-checked on site – in the shortest possible time.
