Adapters exist because the real world is full of equipment from different eras and different manufacturers that has to work together. When nothing off the shelf bridges the gap, the part gets made.
We machine crossovers and adapters from solid bar, cutting both connections on the same part so the alignment and concentricity are controlled.
Tell us both ends — or bring both mating parts — and we will build what goes between them.

FAQ
Adapters & Crossovers — Questions We Get
Can you make an adapter between two different thread standards?
- Yes. Adapters and crossovers between different sizes, thread forms or standards are routine work. Provide both connection specifications, or bring us both mating parts and we will work from them.
