Haas VMC vertical milling and hard machining job work — die and mould details, core and cavity inserts, and precision components machined to close tolerances for Chakan's automotive ecosystem.
From soft machining to 58-62 HRC hard milling — die details, inserts and precision parts.
Vertical machining centre (VMC) work is the backbone of modern tool rooms — milling die holders, punch holders, plates, inserts and precision components from solid stock. At Precision Industries we run Haas VMC machining centres at our Pimpri MIDC facility for both our own tooling and external job work.
We machine in the soft state and, critically, hard mill hardened tool steel at 58–62 HRC — producing core and cavity inserts, die details and finished features without the distortion of post-hardening grinding. This is the capability that lets a tool room finish complex details accurately.
Whether you need overflow VMC capacity, a batch of precision components, or hard-milled inserts for your own tooling, send your drawing and material and we will quote job work with clear tolerances and lead time. Being in Pimpri-Chinchwad means fast collection and delivery across the Pune belt.

Delivering localized precision capacity to regional manufacturing hubs.
The Tier-1 automotive and global OEM ecosystem in Chakan dictates a zero-compromise approach to component quality and tooling precision. Precision Industries provides Chakan's manufacturers with advanced VMC machining services capable of meeting these stringent global standards. We focus on machining complex geometries, 3D contoured mould cavities, and ultra-precise die inserts. By utilizing our 4-axis Haas VMC capabilities, we help Chakan's advanced manufacturing units localize their critical tooling component supply, ensuring rapid iterations, reduced supply chain risks, and uncompromised precision.
Achieving extreme precision directly from the milling spindle.
Modern tooling relies on complex 3D profiles and hardened materials. Traditional machining methods often require a component to be roughed out, heat-treated, and then laboriously finish-ground or spark-eroded. Precision Industries leverages high-performance Haas Vertical Machining Centers to streamline this process, operating under a strict ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
Our core competency is Hard Milling. We routinely machine hardened tool steels (such as D2, H13, and EN31) at hardness levels of 58 to 62 HRC. By utilizing specialized solid carbide end mills and optimized high-speed machining (HSM) toolpaths generated by our advanced CAD/CAM software, we can finish-machine complex core and cavity inserts directly in their hardened state. This eliminates the dimensional distortion commonly caused by the heat treatment process and drastically reduces the need for secondary EDM or grinding operations.
The result is a finished component with exceptional surface finish, tight geometric tolerances (consistently held to ±0.01 mm), and a significantly shorter overall lead time. Whether machining soft mild steel plates or hardened die punches, our rigorous setup procedures and regular machine calibration ensure that every part we deliver meets the exact specifications of your drawing.
Comprehensive machining capabilities for diverse engineering needs.
The versatility of our VMC setup allows us to process a wide spectrum of materials required by the tooling and manufacturing sectors. We regularly machine robust Tool Steels (D2, D3, H13, P20), both in annealed and fully hardened states. Additionally, we handle high-volume precision job work in materials like Mild Steel (MS), Stainless Steel (SS 304/316), Aluminum alloys, and Brass. Our tooling selection and coolant strategies are optimized for each specific material to ensure maximum tool life and pristine surface finishes.
Precision begins with the setup. We utilize high-accuracy hydraulic vices, precision ground parallels, and specialized work-holding fixtures to ensure components are clamped rigidly without inducing stress or deformation. For complex, multi-sided parts, our 4-axis rotary capability allows us to machine multiple faces in a single setup, eliminating stack-up errors associated with manual repositioning and ensuring perfect concentricity and alignment between features.
Quality assurance is integrated at every step. First-off components are rigorously inspected using calibrated micrometers, bore gauges, and height gauges before a batch run is approved. For critical tooling inserts and complex 3D profiles, we verify the machined coordinates against the native CAD data, guaranteeing that the physical part matches your design intent flawlessly before dispatch.

Capability, hard milling, job work and tolerances.
Yes — we hard mill tool steel at 58-62 HRC on our Haas VMC, producing core and cavity inserts and finished die details without the distortion post-hardening grinding can introduce.
Yes. We accept VMC job work from tool rooms and manufacturers needing overflow capacity or hard-milling capability. Send your drawing and material for a quotation.
Our Haas VMC machines provide up to 4-axis machining — suitable for die and mould details, inserts, plates and precision components.
Tool steels (incl. hardened), MS, SS, aluminium and brass, among others, depending on the part.
Parts are programmed with CAD/CAM from your 2D or 3D data, so complex forms are machined accurately and repeatably.
From Pimpri MIDC we serve Pimpri-Chinchwad, Bhosari, Chakan, Talegaon and the wider Pune corridor, with dispatch across Maharashtra.
Hard milling is significantly faster than Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) for removing material from hardened steel. It also avoids creating the 'white layer' (a brittle recast layer) on the surface of the metal, which often occurs with EDM and can lead to premature tool failure. Hard milling leaves a clean, highly accurate surface finish directly.
For standard precision components and die details, we consistently hold tolerances of ±0.01 mm to ±0.02 mm, depending on the material, the specific geometry of the part, and the required surface finish.
Yes. You can provide us with your 3D models (STEP or IGES format) and 2D drawings. Our engineering team uses advanced CAM software to generate optimized, crash-free toolpaths directly from your native data, ensuring perfect replication of complex 3D contours.
Yes. While hard milling can finish many profiles, we also have precision surface grinding capabilities in-house to achieve ultra-flat surfaces and specific surface roughness (Ra) requirements on backing plates and die blocks.
