Materials Below is a list of materials we commonly manufacture items from: Lead-Free Brass Used widely in California for fittings that convey drinking water. Lead-Free brass has other benefits such as de-zincification (corrosion) resistance and material strength that is comparable to that of Stainless Steel. Free Cutting Brass – CuZn39PB3 The most common specification machined…

Secondary Operations The main focus for Currie & Warner is to produce components in one operation. However, some complex components have features that require secondary operations. We have a small section of rotary transfer, presses, single spindle machines, and machining centers to produce features that are not possible on our multi-spindle machines. Some of the…
