Special Fasteners have become more complex over the last few decades and Hague Fasteners have constantly implemented new manufacturing methods as they observe exciting new technologies to ensure they stay at the forefront of British Manufacturing. The massive variation of the Custom made bolting can be seen in their special fastener images gallery.
Due to the consistent investment in new plant and equipment, Hague are often called on by their Worldwide customers to manufacture special milled items, some of which would not even be described as a Special Fastener.

It is this manufacturing flexibility coupled with decades of Super alloy and special metals machining knowledge that enables Hague Fasteners to offer a complete precision turning, precision milling and precision engineering solution manufacturing to customers’ unique designs and OEM drawings.

Further investment has been made to further improve capabilities in their CNC milling section.

CNC mills can perform the functions of Milling, drilling, tapping, threading and turning.

CNC Mills are classified according to the number of axes that they possess. Axes are labeled as x and y for horizontal movement, and z for vertical movement.

A standard manual light-duty mill is typically assumed to have four axes:
Table x.
Table y.
Table z.
Milling Head z.

The number of axes of a milling machine is a common subject of casual “shop talk” and is often interpreted in varying ways.

A five-axis CNC milling machine has an extra axis in the form of a horizontal pivot for the milling head, as shown below. This allows extra flexibility for machining with the end mill at an angle with respect to the table.

A six-axis CNC milling machine would have another horizontal pivot for the milling head, this time perpendicular to the fifth axis.

It is the consistent adaptation of manufacturing methods and technologies that ensures Hague Fasteners remain at the top of the Special Fasteners supply chain.

Hague Fasteners remain the “Craftsmen in Fasteners”.
