Nothing in aerospace is ever
just the part.
Instrument hardware, precision components, tooling and ground support.
It is the part, the paperwork that has to travel with it, and the fixture that proves it repeats. Components machined here have gone into turbine programs and into precision instruments. We cannot tell you whose, which is rather the point — your program gets the same silence.

How we fit into a process that already has one
Aerospace programs run on approved supplier lists, and that list belongs to the customer. FJM machines the part, under your part numbers and your revision control, with material certifications and Certificates of Conformance in the box. Where a program needs documentation that has to originate with the supplier, say so early and you will get a straight answer before anyone spends time quoting.
Instrument hardware, precision components and tooling
- Instrument and sensor housings
- Actuator, linkage and bracket hardware
- Bushings, spacers and bearing housings
- Precision components machined to print
- Assembly, drill and locating fixtures
- Test stand components and mounts
- Ground support hardware
- Calibration and gauging fixtures
Where a program requires certified documentation, we work inside your approved-supplier process. Send the print and the requirement together and you will get a straight answer before anyone spends time on a quote.
The programs are not ours to name
Turbine programs
Components and tooling machined for turbine work — the trade this shop was trained in. The drawings belong to the customer, so the category is as specific as this gets.
Instrument manufacturers
Precision parts for instrument builders whose products end up in aerospace, industrial and test equipment.
Your program gets the same
Send an NDA with the RFQ and it comes back signed. Nothing about your parts appears on this site, in a portfolio, or in a conversation with another customer.
In aerospace the paperwork is half the order
The part is never the whole deliverable. This is what ships alongside it, and what each item means when it reaches your receiving inspection.
Materials
Aluminum 6061 and 7075 for fixtures, plates and brackets. Carbon steels and mold steels where tooling has to take repeated clamping. Stainless 303, 304, 316, 420, 440 and 17-4 PH. Titanium. Brass and bronze. Delrin, PEEK and UHMW.
Tooling, ground support and test hardware
Tooling and fixtures
The workholding a build needs that nobody has time to design in-house.
Test and ground support
Stand components, mounts and hardware that never leaves the ground.
Equipment repair
One-off replacements for machines already in service, drawing or no drawing.
Common questions
Are you AS9100 certified?
No. Where a program requires certified documentation, we work as a machining source inside your approved-supplier process, under your part numbers and your revision control — the same way finishing vendors are managed on a single order. Send the requirement with the RFQ and you will get a straight answer before anyone spends time quoting.
What kind of aerospace work do you take?
Tooling, fixtures, ground support hardware, test stand components, and brackets and mounts for non-flight equipment. If a part is flight-critical it belongs with a shop carrying the approvals that work requires, and you will be told that rather than handed a quote.
Can you work to our tooling drawings and revision control?
Yes. Parts are cut to your drawing at the revision named on the purchase order. If a revision changes, send it before the job starts rather than after, and the change gets picked up at setup.
Do you supply first article inspection reports?
Yes, on request, before a batch runs. Dimensions are reported against your print. Material certifications and Certificates of Conformance come with the parts.
The tooling has to fit a part we make in-house. Do you need the part?
Send it if you can. A fixture built around the part as it actually comes out of your process fits better than one built around the nominal geometry on the drawing.
Who do we talk to if something changes mid-job?
The machinist. There is one person in this shop, so a change reaches the machine the same day instead of going through a scheduler first.
Send the tooling drawing
Quotes come back the next business day. If a job belongs with a certified shop we will tell you that instead of quoting it.
