We specialise in milling and turning of metallic and plastic components in prototype, small and medium batch sizes, with access to further processes such as anodising, heat treatment and grinding through our supplier network.

5 Axis CNC Machining
5-axis CNC machining moves tools across five axes at once, machining nearly every side of a part in a single setup. This cuts out manual repositioning, speeds up production, and delivers superior precision, accuracy and surface finish, even on the most complex shapes.
Using mill-turn/multi-axis machines cuts tooling and labour costs by combining milling and turning in one setup, boosting consistency and accuracy while eliminating manual repositioning errors.
Our vertical machining centre, equipped with a 4th-axis rotary table, 12kW spindle and 20-tool carousel, delivers cost-effective prismatic and simple milling operations, plus the fastest post-5-sided second-op finishing.
We recreate parts without technical drawings, taking dimensional information and internal mechanisms to produce CAD drawings and manufacture to exact specifications.
Hornet Precision Engineering Ltd specialise in the CNC machining of quality machined parts to high ISO9001:2015 standards for companies near Leicester, Peterborough, Northampton and UK wide, offering services to virtually every market sector, from a bracket for a tank to a part for a World Championship winning F1 car braking system.
Using the latest CNC machining technology, programmed with advanced CAD/CAM, lets us work in the most cost-efficient, quality-driven and time-efficient way possible, ensuring components arrive on time, at great value and right first time.
Started in 2018 as Hornet CNC Services, we offered in-house training, programming and CNC machine setting and operating to multiple sectors, including sub-contract machining in oil and gas and the current Formula 1 Champions' engine building facility in Brixworth. In late 2020 we set up our own manufacturing facility in South Leicestershire, and in mid-2021 became Hornet Precision Engineering to reflect our full in-house machining services.
