Metal Fabrication

Need a hand with the design and drawing portion of your project? Our new Draughtsman, Daragh is your man! Holding a degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from the University of Nottingham, he’s got plenty of experience with CAD/CAM drawing programs and software such as SOLIDWORKS, allowing him to work with you closely to ensure…

If you haven’t already visited our renovated tool shop, why not? It’s been well over a year since we re-opened! When the overhaul initially began, the Red Box Engineering team fabricated a lot of the metalwork required, whether it was the shelving for display racking, signage; we even re-cladded the front exteriors of our tool…

We’ve gone through the operational processes of our waterjet and now it’s time to dig a little deeper on how our CNC punch machine functions.     Our Engineering Team produce the metalwork for our Aviation Team’s Ground Power Units, which typically have louvred panels, allowing for adequate ventilation for their products by allowing the…

As long as the Red Box Engineering Team continue to manufacture the metalwork required to produce the Aviation Team’s aircraft ground power units, our Powder Coating Team will always have something to powder coat (in the signature red, of course). However, this isn’t the only colour we offer as we currently hold an array of…

Following on from our previous waterjet post, instead of just writing about the functionality of the piece of machinery, we thought we’d give you a little sneak peek of it at work. One of our regular customers supplied us with some pre-cut mild steel angle which required some holes cut into them and with the…

A few months back, we provided a breakdown on the operation of our brake press machine, this time around we thought we’d give the same treatment for our waterjet to give you a more detailed look into one of our more popular fabrication capabilities. A water jet cutter (or waterjet) is a piece of machinery…

If you’ve been keeping in the loop over the past few months, the Red Box Team have been working around the clock to get our stand ready for Goodwood Festival of Speed 2022. You may have seen on the Red Box Tools Facebook page that there’s been some hiccups… we may have set fire to…

As you may already be aware, the road to Goodwood Festival of Speed is well and truly on here at Red Box. Our stand, constructed of four 40ft containers (painted red, of course) are ready to be transported but the Red Box Engineering Team are still in the process of fabricating a few more things…

The Red Box Engineering team pride themselves on being an adaptive bunch and are happy to provide a free quote with any one-off or repeated projects you may have in the pipeline. We offer several diverse services but this week, we’d like to highlight some of the different welding jobs we’ve had over the past…

Over the past couple of weeks, the Red Box Paint and Powder Team have been tasked with powder coating a number of rather large planters for one of our regular customers. Each planter has had a two-metre diameter and with a some dexterous (or dicey at times, depending on which way you look at it)…
