SERVICES | CNC MACHINING
CNC Machining
All CNC machining is performed in our Ham Lake, Minnesota facility using in-house equipment and inspection.
What This Process Is Built For
We’re set up for precision CNC machining of production parts, fixtures, and weldment components—from smaller details up to larger plates and components that fit our vertical machining centers.
​
We’re a good fit when you need:
-
Accurate, repeatable machined features
-
Parts that bolt up, align, and assemble correctly
-
Machining that integrates with laser, waterjet, forming, and welding
We focus on parts that fit within our machine envelopes and can be handled efficiently and safely in our facility.
​
​Our CNC machining supports aerospace-style components and supply-chain work where repeatability, documentation, and inspection discipline are critical.
Capacity & Handling
-
Multiple Haas VF‑series vertical machining centers
-
Haas ST‑series CNC lathe
-
Manual mill with CNC assist for fixtures and one‑offs
We handle milling, drilling, tapping, profiling, pocketing, and turning operations for a wide range of parts.
Typical Parts
-
Brackets, plates, and blocks with machined features
-
Housings, covers, and machined faces
-
Weldment components requiring machined datums, faces, or holes
-
Mounting plates and base plates
-
Turned components like bushings, spacers, and hubs
-
Fixtures and small tooling to support production
Materials We Commonly Process
-
Mild and alloy steels
-
Stainless steels
-
Aluminum
-
Copper and brass
-
Common engineering plastics (e.g., acetal/Delrin, nylon, UHMW, polycarbonate)
We generally do not target titanium, Inconel, or other exotic high‑temperature alloys.
Tolerances & Quality
-
We aim for tight, practical tolerances:
-
Typical tolerances: in the ±0.001" to ±0.005" range, depending on feature, material, and part geometry
-
Surface finishes: functional for sealing surfaces, fits, and interfaces; specific Ra requirements can be reviewed at RFQ
​
Critical GD&T features and datum structures are planned and inspected accordingly.
Integrated With Other Processes
Because we also handle laser cutting, welding and fabrication, and quality and inspection in-house, we can machine critical features after forming and welding and deliver parts ready for final assembly.
All CNC work runs under our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system and is coordinated with upstream laser cutting and downstream welding and fabrication to maintain dimensional control throughout the build. Final verification is completed through our quality and inspection processes, including First Article Inspection (FAI), in-process checks for critical features, CMM inspection and dimensional reports when required, and material certifications when specified.
