Small, precise, and
usually needed in fours.
Enclosures, thermal parts and test fixtures.
Electronics work is rarely a big order. It is a handful of parts with small features and tight fits, needed before the next build review. That is the normal order size here, not an exception someone has to make room for.

Where the workholding is the job
The hard part of an electronics component is rarely the shape. It is holding the part rigid enough to cut without moving a wall that finishes at forty thousandths. Enclosure walls that would bow in a vise get held on a fixture cut for that part, and the fixture stays here, so the next revision of the same housing sets up in minutes. Send the model before the enclosure is committed — ten minutes usually finds a wall or a pocket depth that costs a whole operation.
Parts for electronic assemblies
- Housings, enclosures and panel components
- Instrument and sensor housings
- Mounting plates, brackets and standoffs
- Bezels, faceplates and trim parts
- Test, burn-in and probe fixtures
- Connector bodies and adapter hardware
- Shielding and shroud components
- Insulating parts in Delrin, PEEK and PTFE
Small features and thin walls are the usual difficulty, and both come down to workholding rather than a different cutter. Fixtures are designed and cut here and kept afterwards.
Cut from drawings we do not own
Sensor and instrument builders
Housings, plates and precision parts for instrument and sensor builders. The products ship under their name, not ours.
Products that had not launched
A fair amount of this work is cut from drawings for something nobody outside the company has seen yet.
Your build is treated the same
An NDA sent with the RFQ comes back signed, and nothing about your product appears on this site or anywhere else.
What the part has to do, and what that means at the machine
Electronics parts are usually specified by what they have to achieve rather than by a tolerance block. These are the requirements that actually change how a part gets cut.
Materials
Aluminum 6061 and 7075 for enclosures, plates and heat sinks. Brass and copper where conductivity or thermal transfer matters. Stainless 303, 304 and 316. Delrin, PEEK, UHMW and PTFE for insulating and low-friction parts.
What an electronics job usually looks like
Enclosures and thermal
Housings, plates and heat sinks where fit against a board or a chassis has to be right the first time.
Test and inspection fixtures
Burn-in, probe and functional test hardware, built around your part rather than around a catalogue vise.
Prototype and pre-production
The four parts that prove the design before anyone commits to tooling.
Common questions
What is the smallest feature you can machine?
Tell us the dimension and we will give you a straight answer rather than a general claim. Small features are usually limited by how rigidly the part can be held, so the fixture is part of that conversation.
Can you hold flatness on a thermal or mating face?
Yes, and it is worth calling out which face it applies to. A flatness note applied to the whole part rather than the one surface that seals or conducts is a common reason a part costs more than it should.
Do you machine parts with very thin walls?
Yes. Thin walls are a workholding problem, and workholding is designed and cut here rather than adapted from a standard vise. It is why thin-wall parts are quotable here instead of declined.
Can you do anodizing or plating for conductivity?
Anodizing, plating and passivation are coordinated through qualified outside vendors on your order, and parts come back here for inspection before they ship. Send the finish callout and we will confirm whether it is one we handle.
Do you build the test fixture as well as the part?
Yes, and it is often the more useful half of the order. Burn-in, probe and functional test hardware gets built around your part rather than around a catalogue vise, and the fixture stays here so a second one matches the first. How that works is on the custom fixtures page.
How fast can I get four parts?
Quotes come back the next business day and the shop opens at 6 AM. Lead time depends on the part and whether a fixture is needed — ask and you will get a real date.
Send the model and find out
A STEP file, a drawing, or the part itself. Quotes come back the next business day, the minimum order is one, and you will be talking to the machinist who cuts it.
