Precision CNC milling
3- and 4-axis milling of close-tolerance components, from a single prototype to production quantities.
Prismatic parts, tight features
Milling is where positional tolerance, profile and surface finish all have to come together on the same part.
3-axis milling
Plates, brackets, covers and prismatic parts machined with close control of flatness, position and profile.
4-axis milling
A fourth axis lets us reach multiple faces in one setup, which protects the relationship between features.
Close-tolerance features
Precision bores, pockets, slots and threads held to the drawing, with capability to ±.0001″ where the design calls for it.

Accuracy is planned, then cut
Every time a part is re-fixtured, a little error can creep in between features. We plan each job to machine related features together wherever the geometry allows.
Workholding, tooling and the inspection method are settled before the first chip, so the first part and the last part of a run are made the same way.
Parts that need both milled and turned features move between our mills and our lathes with milling capability under one roof and one quality system.
What to send us
To quote accurately we need:
1. The print as a PDF, at the current revision.
2. Quantity, including any price breaks you want to see.
3. Material and finish requirements, if not on the drawing.
4. Required delivery date and any documentation your program calls for.
Tell us what you’re building.
Send the print and we will tell you quickly whether it fits our mills.
