Engineering on the East Rand
Precision Engineering Brakpan
Tunnel Fox Engineering is a Brakpan-based precision engineering workshop supplying machined parts, fabrications and assemblies to mining, automotive and OEM manufacturers across the East Rand, Johannesburg and greater Gauteng — total manufacturing under one roof.
What we machine, mill and turn
Custom Machined Components
One-off prototypes through to repeat production parts in steel, stainless, aluminium, brass and engineering plastics — to your drawing or sample.
5 Axis Precision Milling
Complex geometries finished in a single set-up on our Mazak Integrex cells — fewer fixtures, fewer errors, tighter tolerances.
Fabrication & Welding
Six MIG and two TIG stations covering aluminium, mild steel and stainless — frames, brackets, housings and assemblies ready for paint or galvanising.
Repairs & Reverse Engineering
Bring in the broken part. We measure, model, machine and have you back in production — invaluable for legacy mining and process equipment.
Tooling, Jigs & Fixtures
Production tooling, drill jigs, welding fixtures and inspection gauges designed and built in-house, hardened where it counts.
Quality & Inspection
Three Aberlink CMMs, a Faro arm and vision systems back every job — full dimensional reports issued on request.
Why engineers in Gauteng choose Tunnel Fox
A real engineering shop, not a broker
Every part you receive is machined, welded and inspected on our floor in Brakpan — we never sub-contract your IP out to an unknown workshop.
Decades of total-manufacturing experience
From CNC turning to fabrication and finishing, our team has run jobs for mining, automotive, packaging and food-grade OEMs across South Africa.
Drawing-in, part-out
Send a PDF, STEP, DXF or even a hand sketch. We take it from quote through programming, machining, inspection and dispatch.
East Rand location, Gauteng reach
Based on the East Rand with daily courier links to Johannesburg, Pretoria and OR Tambo — perfect for both walk-in collection and nationwide dispatch.
