QUALITY
Our goal is to give you the best quality product while keeping costs at a minimum. To accomplish this we have instituted a First Piece-Last Piece Inspection System. A full print layout and part inspection is documented at the point of set-up and a last part. In process inspection is done frequently. We also maintain inspection and material certification documentation for customer part. The Oasis Inspection System features: Instant Measurements, Simultaneous measurements in multiple dimensions, Accurate measurements to 0.0001 inches, and automatic inspection reporting. The Mitutoyo Optical Comparator features: • Bench-top model that uses horizontal optical system. • Suitable for thread pitch measurements—blurred or distorted images will not be produced when workpiece is angled.• 14" (356mm) diameter vernier protractor screen with solid line cross-hairs for easy alignment.• The PH-A14’s generous X, Y workstage travel (8”x 4”) provides users with ample range to cover application needs.

TESTIMONIALS

Read what people have to say about us!
We have been purchasing CNC lathe parts from Dave at Borderline Swiss since he opened his doors and have been quite pleased with both his delivery and quality of products...He has always been able to help on our sometimes unreasonable delivery requests and has not let us down, ever. He does exactly what he promises to do.

Owner/Partner of Multi Tech Industries
I just wanted to follow up and let you know that we were very impressed with the parts we received last week. The stainless rivets turned out beautiful, and the timing was great. We received these Thursday afternoon, and by Friday morning we were running them at our customer and getting results on par with what we would have expected in a cold headed part. We appreciate your efforts to get these turned around quickly, and the quality is exceptional. Please say thank you to your team for us!

Borderline Swiss produces a beautiful custom push pin for us at a price competitive with Chinese suppliers. I’ve been happy to bring this job back from China to the U.S. with Borderline Swiss CNC.
