AEROSPACE MACHINING
Tight-tolerance components, full traceability, and first-article discipline for aerospace programs that can't accept "close." Every critical setup gets owner-level review before the run opens.
THE DEMAND
AEROSPACE DOESN'T DO SECOND CHANCES
Aerospace work is unforgiving by design — tight tolerances on demanding material, complete traceability from raw stock to finished part, and first articles that have to be right before a program commits to a run. The margin for error isn't small. It's zero.
Tight-tolerance machining on demanding material
Full material certs and inspection reports for traceability
CMM inspection for critical-dimension validation
Owner-level review on critical first-article setups
Spec-compliant crating and preservation for delivery
THE FIT
PRECISION IS THE WHOLE JOB
Four things aerospace work depends on, built into how we run.
01
TIGHT TOLERANCE
High-rigidity platforms like the Okuma MC-V4020 hold demanding material and tight tolerances without pushing the number around mid-cut.
02
FULL TRACEABILITY
Material certs and inspection reports follow the part from raw stock to shipment. When a program audits the chain, the chain is complete.
03
FIRST-ARTICLE REVIEW
Dustin reviews critical first-article setups himself before a run opens. The expensive discovery happens on part one, not part fifty.
04
CMM VALIDATION
Coordinate measuring for tight-tolerance validation, with hold points inside the process traveler so drift is caught while the part is still on the machine.

QUALITY
VALIDATION AT EVERY STEP
Quality on an aerospace part isn't a final check — it's built into the process traveler as hold points, verified on CMM, and reviewed at the owner level on critical first articles. The part is qualified against the print before it's cleared, and the paperwork ships with it.

QUESTIONS
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
CAN YOU HOLD AEROSPACE TOLERANCES?
Yes. High-rigidity platforms and CMM validation are built for tight-tolerance work on demanding material. Send the print with the tolerance callouts and we'll confirm the fit directly.
DO YOU PROVIDE FULL MATERIAL TRACEABILITY?
Yes — full material certs and inspection reports that follow the part from raw stock to shipment, which is what aerospace traceability requirements are built around.
DO YOU DO FIRST-ARTICLE INSPECTION?
Yes. Critical first-article setups get owner-level review before a run opens, with CMM validation against the print. Problems surface on the first part.
CAN YOU MACHINE COMPLEX AEROSPACE GEOMETRY?
Yes. Integrated 4th-axis machining handles multi-face parts in fewer setups, which keeps complex geometry accurate. Send the model and we'll walk through the approach.

GOT AN AEROSPACE PROGRAM
Send the print, the model, or the part itself. You'll get a straight answer on whether we can make it, what it takes, and how long it runs.
