Another example of engineering being all around us is the invisible but essential impact of precision tube manufacturing. Everywhere you look, precision tubes are being used in a variety of different ways to achieve a whole host of outcomes, whether it’s life or mobility saving, or simply ensuring that machinery will work safely and efficiently to manufacture millions of other products such as industrial rollers which are responsible for printing passports, money, even your Amazon packaging! Standard tubing can be purchased from a variety of suppliers but often, here at Hone-all, we can manufacture these more cost effectively from solid bar. Also, purchasing standard tubing often doesn’t give designers the exacting tolerances or finishes they require hence the need for specialist expertise like the amazing team at Hone-All. https://hubs.ly/Q02VgbL70 #supportukmfg #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmanufacturing

It doesn’t matter where you look, what you use, how you live – engineering and manufacturing is all around you and our contributions to how we live are immense and immeasurable. As one of the least recognised and appreciated industries in the UK, we suffer from outdated and inaccurate pre-conceptions and as a result, our reputation is poor. In this article, we hope to remind everyone about the part we play, the role we fill, the services we provide and the absolutely critical need for engineering and manufacturing to be prioritised and recognised by the UK Government for the value we deliver – some say over £518 billion! When discussing what we do, and how good we are at it, we must remember to shout about UK engineering and manufacturing and the critical and invaluable contribution we make. https://hubs.ly/Q02Tn9Zn0 #shoutaboutukmfg #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing

Hip screws? Nipple moulds? Laser eye equipment? Here at Hone-All, we've manufactured them all. Over the years, we've developed a wide range of knowledge, experience, and expertise to guarantee that the only thing your Surgeon or Doctor needs to worry about is their own ability and not the equipment they're using. Here, we explain why! - https://hubs.ly/Q02Svt620 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg

Outsourcing can give you the opportunity to accept new opportunities whilst still minimising risk – but only if you pick a specialist you can rely on who will protect your reputation as much as you do! That’s us. Here at Hone-All, we want you to be successful and impress your customers. The more work you win, the more work we hope to win alongside you. And ultimately, UK Manufacturing wins and continues to grow! Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q02QTFpx0 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg

Trepanning is a lesser known process within our industry - potentially due to the larger tolerances that you must offer with trepanning. However, it is economical and offers other additional benefits as and when it suits your application. But for when it doesn't, deep hole boring is your alternative which offers outstanding accuracy, fantastic finishes, and a greater range of bore sizes. Whichever suits your needs, we have the capacity and the expertise to achieve exactly what you need in the most cost-effective manner. - https://hubs.ly/Q02Q4rvJ0 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg

Over recent years, there has been much talk of 4IR, the benefits of digital technologies, and the benefits they bring to business. Whilst we agree, it’s often forgotten that one of the most significant barriers to digital transformation for SMEs is not just cost but the fear factor! Many systems are overly complex and extremely expensive. The worry that operations will be interrupted or that massive resources are required to transfer and input existing data and files results in the decision being delayed or not taken at all, leaving many businesses with systems that restrict growth, performance monitoring, and future progression. Here, we chat about the production control system we use here at Hone-All, which has not only transformed and streamlined how we operate but has also increased margins and improved monitoring and traceability to Rolls Royce and 9100 standards. https://hubs.ly/Q02Phwhl0 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg

One of the constant topics we hear is that the general public simply don’t understand about engineering and manufacturing, what we do and how we do it. It’s one of the reasons career teachers have an issue in recommending us as a future career, contributing further to the skills shortages we are all experiencing. So, in this article, we go back to simple basics for those in our network who are not directly involved with our machining processes and enabling a wider audience to understand some of the mechanisms and mechanics employed within our highly diverse, but hugely essential, industry. For those in the know, I apologise for the basic premise, but I’m sure you agree, it’s time for us all to show EVERYONE what we do, not just our supply chains and stakeholders…. https://lnkd.in/e6h2DrQw #shoutaboutukmfg #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #ukmfg

Within our industry, there is a constant discussion of the merits of cost versus overall value. Here at Hone-All, we are proud to say that we focus only on the overall value we can provide to achieve the best possible results for you, your machining and manufacturing processes, and your end customer. When we quote, we are often asked why we include certain “ancillary” operations in our explanatory text. It is only when we explain the potential quality ramifications of excluding these preparatory operations that our clients understand and appreciate our overall planning process. For us, it’s not just about what you need from us – it’s about ensuring your further machining operations are easier, quicker, and more cost-effective whilst ensuring quality is never jeopardised! - https://hubs.ly/Q02L3Jbw0 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg

The debate regarding true value, cost versus quality, on-shoring, off-shoring rages constantly. A similar conflict can be found between commercial and aerospace standards resulting in some businesses having two separate quality standards throughout their operations. Commercial jobs usually have tolerances or millimetres and little or no paperwork requirements, aerospace and defence, tolerances to tenths of microns and traceability for 20+ years. At Hone-All, we appreciate that not all of our customers expect quality standards to AS9100 standards and sometimes query our cost compared to others received. However, we don’t want to be the biggest in our field. We want to be the best, and therefore we apply AS9100 standards across EVERY job, not just those that demand it. We believe it maintains a consistent approach and standard throughout which delivers absolute excellence at a cost which represents true value. - https://hubs.ly/Q02L3K8L0 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg

Thin wall components have often caused challenges for the engineering industry and despite advances in tubing manufacture, it is still the case that many sizes offered by stockists are still very much standard sizes and tolerances and often cannot meet the vast array of demands from industry. That’s where we come in. The investments we have made, and the expertise we have gained over the last 20 years, has resulted in a wealth of experience and in some cases, our involvement has saved our customers tens of thousands of pounds in what were previously rejected components due to inconsistencies in wall thicknesses. Our approach to achieving overall quality for the customer, not just within the operation we are completing, is our USP. https://hubs.ly/Q02K9xjq0 #supportukmfg #ukmanufacturing #shoutaboutukmfg #ukmfg
