- Microspace
traces its beginnings back to 1957 when an order was received for 500 ivory spools to be used as coil forms for the pencil-type galvanometers found in seismic recording oscillographs. Since these spools were only 0.028 O.D. over the flanges (with 0.018 working diameter) by 0.046 long and with a 0.009 diameter hole through the center, a microscopic machining capability had to be perfected.

- Microscopic machining demands the building of parts with feature dimensions which typically are equivalent to just the "plus or minus" tolerances of conventionally machined parts.
Machining under a microscope often becomes art, in addition to science.
- Microspace has over the years developed techniques for microscopic turning, milling, grinding, drilling and engraving.
