When it comes to sourcing fasteners, whether in defense, transportation, and other critical industries, precision and consistency are non-negotiable. At Omni Fasteners, we don’t just supply parts, we manufacture confidence.

A big part of what sets us apart is our manufacturing capabilities with CNC machines. Specifically, our Citizen Swiss-type machines give us a serious edge when it comes to delivering fasteners that meet your specifications.

What Is Swiss Machining, and Why Should You Care?

Swiss-style lathes are all about precision. Originally developed for the watch industry, these machines are known for their ability to turn incredibly small, complex parts with minimal tolerance. Unlike traditional lathes, the Swiss-style setup supports the material close to the cutting tools, dramatically reducing deflection and increasing accuracy.

For critical parts, that means fewer defects, less waste, and higher confidence in your final product.

We currently operate:

  •     Citizen L20 multi-spindle machines
  •     Citizen L32 multi-spindle machines

Here’s what that means for you:

Citizen L20 Machines

Our L20s are built for speed and precision. Each one handles complex turning, milling, and drilling operations with ease—making them perfect for mid-size fasteners and components with intricate features.

Citizen L32 Machine

The L32 adds even more versatility with a larger work envelope and the ability to handle slightly larger diameters. It’s ideal for applications requiring a bit more muscle while maintaining Swiss-level precision.

Together, these machines enable us to produce parts with tight tolerances, high repeatability, and excellent surface finishes—whether it’s stainless, brass, alloy steel, or exotic engineered materials.

What’s the Output? Let’s Talk Numbers.

These Swiss -style lathes are designed to produce an estimated 5 to 6 million precision components per year, depending on complexity and part cycle times.

This level of capacity means we’re able to scale with your needs—whether you need a high-volume run for production or low-to-mid volumes for prototyping and pilot programs.

Why This Matters to You.

  •     Speed & Scale: We adjust to your lead times, PPAP requirements, prototype runs and yearly volume.
  •     Quality & Consistency: Swiss machining minimizes the variation between parts, which is crucial for assemblies and automated systems.
  •     Complex Features? No Problem. Threading, cross-drilling, grooving—we do it all in a single setup, reducing handling and lead time.
  •     Reliable Delivery Our multiple machines in-house allow us to prevent delays and give us flexibility to ship partial volumes as they get completed.

At Omni Fasteners, we know that our parts go into mission-critical applications. Whether it’s a defense system, transportation equipment, or industrial assembly, you need a fastener supplier you can count on for precision, volume, and reliability. Our Swiss machining capabilities are just one of the many ways we deliver on that promise.
