01 — Capability
Every machine, with its envelope and tolerance.
Two shifts on the floor. If a part fits one of these envelopes we can hold the tolerance beside it; if it does not, we will say so on the quote rather than find out on the first article.
Machine list

Tolerances are what we hold in production, not a best case on a single feature.
Beyond cutting metal
What happens after the spindle stops
- Finishing
- Deburring, tumbling, bead blast and passivation in house. Anodize, plating and heat treat through certified partners with the certs attached.
- Assembly
- Press-fit, helicoil, bushings and sub-assembly with serialization, so you receive a part that bolts on.
- Engineering
- DFM review on every quote. We tell you where a tolerance is costing you money before we cut it.
- Lot sizes
- Prototypes from one piece to production runs of 50,000 a year. Kanban and blanket orders with release schedules.
