Northeast Machining offers a broad range of finishing capabilities and secondary operations to process cast, forged, wrought machined components and subassemblies to the required finished state per our customers’ demanding requirements. We provide wide range of high-quality cleaning, polishing, finishing processes, and special services. 

Cleaning and Polishing

Our goal is to add as much value as possible to your products. Quality and speed are important to us, and therefore every order is processed with your priorities in mind. That’s why we have  made a substantial investment in support equipment to finish your product beyond the basic stages of casting, forging, and wrought bar machining.
