You know us as the fastest manufacturing supplier of machined parts, but sometimes your project requirements outweigh the need for speed. We machine highly precise parts with multiple finishing and reporting options—just what you need for parts with high-end specifications.
Precision machining makes sense when you need lower quantities with higher part requirements. Lead times still can be as few as 10 days!
Advantages of Precision Machining
Machining complexity often brings with it high-level requirements. To ensure that your parts meet your needs, we include design feedback from applications engineers. You’ll also get:
- Tolerances as tight as +/-0.002 in. (0.0508mm)
- Fulfillment of quality requirements (including CoC, FAI, ISO 9001, and AS9100)
- Fully machined features (no material left behind)
Design Guidelines for Precision Machining
Maximum Dimensions
