Expanding Machining Capabilities with New Doosan Lynx 2100LB

Posted on by RCF Bolt & Nut

We are pleased to announce a significant investment in our machining operations with the addition of a Doosan Lynx 2100LB to our machine shop. This new CNC lathe strengthens our in-house capabilities and supports the continued development of our production facilities.

This upgrade forms part of our ongoing commitment to increasing capacity and improving turnaround times. It also enhances the precision of the components we manufacture every day. As demand continues to grow across the sectors we supply, we must ensure our equipment keeps pace. By strengthening our CNC capabilities now, we can support both current requirements and future projects with confidence.

The Doosan Lynx 2100LB delivers improved efficiency and greater consistency across a wide range of materials. It allows us to machine more complex parts while maintaining tight tolerances and strict quality control. In addition, the increased capacity supports smoother workflow within the workshop and improves overall productivity.

By investing in advanced technology, we expand what we can manufacture internally. At the same time, we reinforce our commitment to reliability at every stage of production. Modern equipment plays a key role in helping us maintain high standards and respond quickly to customer needs.

Investments like this support our wider strategy for sustainable growth. We continue to strengthen UK-based manufacturing while building long-term resilience within our business.

We look forward to sharing more news updates from the machine shop as we continue to develop and modernise our production facilities.

The RCF Bolt & Nut team raises over £400 for Macmillan Cancer Support

Screws, Brews, & Bakes – Raising Money for Macmillan Cancer Support

Posted on by RCF Bolt & Nut

We were delighted to take part in this year’s Macmillan Coffee Morning by hosting our own ‘Screws, Brews, and Bakes’ fundraising event. The RCF team came together with colleagues from GSS Fasteners and Union Fasteners to enjoy homemade treats, fresh coffee, and great company, all while supporting Macmillan Cancer Support.

As a result, the event brought in a fantastic turnout from across the team. Colleagues baked and donated a wide range of cakes and sweet treats, which created an impressive selection on the day. Thanks to everyone’s generosity and enthusiasm, we’re proud to share that we raised over £400. This contribution will help Macmillan Cancer Support continue its life-changing work for people affected by cancer.

Most importantly, the morning created a strong sense of community across the businesses. Events like this show how small actions can make a meaningful difference. By coming together, sharing a few laughs, and supporting an important cause, we were able to raise both funds and awareness.

We’d like to thank everyone who baked, donated, attended, and helped organise the day to make ‘Screws, Brews, and Bakes’ a real success.

Keep an eye on our news and LinkedIn pages for more photos and updates from the day, as well as details of future fundraising events we’ll be taking part in.
