Tooling upgrades aren't glamorous — but they're how a shop holds tighter tolerances and keeps its edge.

Twenty-five years ago today, we lost 2,977 people. We remember them, the first responders who ran toward danger, and every service member who has since stood watch so this doesn't happen again.

At Threadlock much of what we build supports the people who continue that watch. Today we pause to remember why that work matters.

Never forget.

A machine shop that stops investing is one that slowly stops being able to take the work.

At Kremin, keeping up with machining technology is a deliberate part of how we operate — new equipment, new capabilities, and the people who know how to use them. That investment is what lets us say yes when a customer brings us something difficult.

This video is about what advanced manufacturing actually means in practice and why it matters to the customer, not just to us.

There's a reason Swiss turning exists as a separate process.

For small-diameter, long-length components where conventional turning would introduce deflection and tolerance drift, Swiss lathes hold the part close to the cutting zone — which means tighter tolerances, better surface finish, and more consistent results across a production run.

Kremin runs Swiss turning for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers who need it done right the first time. This video breaks down exactly what Swiss turning is and what it's built for.

In aerospace and defense manufacturing, quality isn't a department. It's a system.

Kremin's quality process runs from first article through production — CMM inspection, in-process gauging, full traceability on every job. When a customer needs documentation for a flight-critical component, we have it.

This video walks through why quality control is non-negotiable in CNC manufacturing and how we approach it. If you're qualifying a supplier for a critical program, this is relevant to your checklist.

Not every shop has 5-axis capability. And the ones that do don't always use it the right way.

At Kremin, 5-axis milling means we can machine complex geometries in a single setup — reducing fixturing, eliminating repositioning error, and holding tighter tolerances on the features that matter most. For aerospace and defense components, that matters.

Our team put together a clear explanation of what 5-axis milling is, when it's the right call, and what it means for part quality. If you're evaluating machine shops for complex work, this will help you ask better questions.

Some tolerances can't be chased with turning or milling alone.

Kremin's precision grinding services handle the jobs where surface finish, cylindricity, and diameter tolerance have to be held to tenths — not thousandths. It's a finishing step that separates a part that passes inspection from one that doesn't.

If you're sourcing components with tight finish requirements, this is worth a look. We walk through our grinding capability and the types of parts it's built for.

Every precision manufacturer will tell you they hold tight tolerances. Not every shop can show you why.

Kremin Inc. has been delivering precision machined components for aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial customers for decades. Our team, our equipment, and our quality systems are built around one principle: the part has to be right.

We put together a short video that introduces who we are, what we do, and why our customers keep coming back. Worth three minutes if you work with machined components.

Oil mist control isn't glamorous, but it's a real operational cost if you're not managing it right.

At Kremin, we've run two different mist collection systems side by side to see which actually performs. The Mist-Fit 550 is a traditional filtering setup — and it works, but we had to make custom modifications to keep it from burning through disposable filters at a rate that killed the economics.

Honest review. No sugarcoating. If you're evaluating mist collectors for your shop, watch this before you buy.
