At Omni Fasteners, we’ve always believed that quality isn’t just a goal – it’s a process. Since 1985, we’ve built our CNC-turning manufacturing reputation in northeast Ohio by delivering precision fasteners and custom-engineered components to industries where performance matters most – from aerospace and energy to medical and transportation.
Today, we’re excited to share a major step forward in that commitment: the addition of our new Yama Seiki / Goodway GLS-2000LYS turning center at our facility in the greater Cleveland metro area. This advanced multi-axis machine strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality complex custom fasteners, CNC machined components, and precision turned parts to our customers.
What This Means for Our Customers
With customers relying on us for everything from prototype production to specialized, per-print components, staying ahead technologically is essential. This investment directly enhances our ability to produce high-precision CNC turned parts and tight-tolerance machined components.
The GLS-2000LYS brings advanced multi-axis turning and milling capabilities into our operation, allowing us to:
- Increase production efficiency
- Improve part accuracy and consistency
- Reduce secondary operations
- Expand our ability to take on complex, high-value components
- Maintain high repeatability and tight tolerances
Whether you need custom bolts, aerospace fasteners, or precision machined shafts, the GLS-2000LYS allows us to deliver faster lead times and superior results. This aligns directly with our mission to adapt and scale alongside our customers’ evolving needs.

What sets this machine apart
With the GLS-2000LYS, Omni Fasteners now offers enhanced:
Multi-Axis CNC Turning
The addition of a Y-axis allows for off-center machining, enabling complex geometries that traditional lathes cannot achieve.
Lights-Out Manufacturing Potential
Improved automation and repeatability allow for efficient, unattended, simultaneous turning and milling production using live tooling.
Reduced Lead Times
By completing parts in a single setup, we eliminate multiple operations—saving time and cost.
Product Examples We Can Now Produce
Besides the wide range of fasteners including bolts, screws, nuts, washers, pins, bushings, spacers, and studs, this machine significantly expands the range and complexity of parts we can offer.
Here are some detailed examples:
- Precision Aerospace Fasteners
• Close-tolerance mil-spec fasteners with complex head geometries
• Cross-drilled fasteners for safety wiring
• Specialty threads (UNJ, metric fine, custom profiles)
• Materials: Inconel, titanium, stainless steel
Benefit: One-pass machining ensures consistent concentricity and strength—critical for aerospace applications. - Custom Hydraulic Fittings & Connectors
• Internal and external threading in a single setup
• Cross-hole drilling and porting using live tooling
• Tight sealing surfaces for leak-proof performance
Benefit: Reduced handling improves sealing integrity and dimensional accuracy. - Precision Shafts and Pins
• Stepped diameters with tight tolerances
• Keyways, flats, and cross-holes machined with live tooling
• High surface finish requirements for rotating applications
Benefit: Superior roundness and finish improve wear resistance and performance. - Custom Industrial Fasteners
• Non-standard square head bolts, hex nuts, socket head cap screws, flat washers, dowel pins, double end studs, bushings, and spacers made to print
• Secondary features like slots, holes, and flats added in-cycle
• Short-run prototyping to high-volume production
Benefit: Faster turnaround from design to finished product.
Materials We Machine
The GLS-2000LYS allows us to efficiently machine a wide range of materials, including:
- Carbon Steel (1018, 1020, 1045, 1095)
- Alloy Steel (4140 Chromium-molybdenum steel, 4340 and 8620 Nickel-chromium-molybdenum steels)
- Aluminum (6061)
- Brass (Cu-Zn C26000 cartridge brass, C46400 naval brass, C36000 free-cutting brass)
- Copper (copper rod and bar)
- Stainless Steel (AISI/SAE 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 410, 430, 440, 630 (17-4), A286)
- High-temperature alloys such as Inconel (625, 718, X-750) and Hastelloy (C-276 Ni-Mo-Cr-Fe)
- Nickel-copper Alloys such as Monel (400, K-500)
- Titanium (grade 2, grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V)
Supporting Our Customers’ Growth
Our customers operate in industries where precision is critical. Whether it’s aerospace-grade hardware, energy infrastructure components, or high-performance industrial applications, every part we produce plays a role in something bigger.
Adding the Yama Seiki / Goodway GLS-2000LYS turning center is more than just new equipment – it’s a reflection of our continued investment in innovation, precision, and the future of manufacturing. It’s another way we ensure that when our customers grow, we’re ready to grow with them.
