10 Duplex Mills, also known as twin mills, provide a cost-effective alternative to in-house fly cutting, face milling and grinding. Requiring just one setup for multiple parts, milling two sides at once is absolutely the most cost-effective way of producing high quality, machine-ready blanks. This automated machining process saves both time and money - up to 50% depending on the project. Our Duplex Mills handle extended length pieces and produce blanks with very close tolerances.

There are also other benefits that Duplex Milling provides including a reduction of internal stress in many metals, as this milling process removes equal amounts of stock from both sides of a blank in tandem motion. By reducing stress, the stability of a machine-ready blank is improved for additional machining phases.

There is also great versatility in the way blanks can be configured for machining as they can be stacked in multiples and then duplex milled, thus adding greater cost efficiencies through reduced machining time.

Allowing DIX Metals to produce duplex-milled machine-ready blanks is an excellent way to preserve valuable, in-house manufacturing time while saving countless employee hours and dollars. Additionally, DIX Metals quality standards are second to none.

DIX Metals provides Duplex Milling Services to a wide range of industries including commercial, transportation, electronics, building and architects, medical, defense, oil and gas exploration, aerospace, packaging and others requiring the highest quality product available.
