Capabilities

Tight tolerances, hard materials, repeatable at volume

We machine complex aerospace and defense components from prototype through full-rate production — and we measure everything we make.

Processes

Machining processes

5-Axis CNC Milling

Simultaneous 5-axis machining of complex, contoured geometries in a single setup. Reduces fixturing, improves true-position accuracy, and shortens lead time on flight-critical parts.

3- & 4-Axis CNC Milling

High-throughput prismatic machining for brackets, housings, and plates with repeatable tolerances across production lots.

Swiss-Style Turning

Sliding-headstock turning for small-diameter, high-precision parts at volume, with live tooling and back-working in one operation.

Multi-Axis Turning / Mill-Turn

Sub-spindle, live-tool turning centers that complete turned-and-milled features in a single cycle for concentricity and cost control.

Precision Grinding

Surface and cylindrical grinding for critical flatness, finish, and diametral tolerances beyond turned/milled capability.

Deburring & Finishing

Manual and automated deburring, plus coordinated outside processing (anodize, passivation, plating, NDT) through approved special-process sources.

Materials

Precision

Representative tolerances

Linear (milling)±0.0002 in (±0.005 mm)
Diameter (turning)±0.0001 in (±0.0025 mm)
True position0.0005 in (0.012 mm)
Surface finishDown to 8 µin Ra
Flatness (ground)0.0001 in (0.0025 mm)

Achievable tolerance depends on geometry, material, and feature. We confirm capability against your drawing during quoting.
