Your source for Lathe Cut Gaskets & Rubber parts
Traditional rubber components are created with injection molding and die-cutting procedures. While these tried and true methods have been used so long for a reason, certain applications are much better for lathe cutting procedures. When you choose a lathe cut gasket, there are little to no tooling costs involved, saving you a great deal of money. It also allows for the flexibility to make design changes and prototype custom parts in a week or less. For customers who are doing small orders that they need quickly, this makes lathe-cut options superior.
The finished product itself also offers some unique benefits, like a smooth surface finish, no hourglassing, no voids/no-fill areas, and a maximized, larger sealing surface.
