Innovation in Aviation and Protection
Whether you need compact parts for secondary systems, full-scale custom housing or any other related manufactured items, we are the ideal machine shop in Massachusetts for your aerospace and defense project. Aerospace-grade aluminum, titanium and stainless steel are just a few of the materials we work with. Our expertise also extends to innovative composites like carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and more. We meticulously follow the specific parameters outlined in your design and source materials from trusted supplies. This ensures your components are ready for the extreme heat, pressures and other mechanical stresses that they will be subjected to in the field.
High Tech Tools to Meet Soaring Standards
The fleet of machinery at our Littleton, Massachusetts machine shop is central to our ability to serve those in the aerospace and defense industries. Featured in our lineup is the Mazak HCN5000, with its swift 18,000 rpm spindle and 4-axis versatility for precise milling. For drilling, our Nakamura Tome AS-200 is another standout. It boasts a versatile 12-position turret as well as live tooling capabilities. Because even the smallest flaw won’t fly, we perform exhaustive quality assessments, including CMM inspections with the Zeiss CMM Contura G2 and RAM Optical Starlite 150 Vision System.

Cutting Edge Tools and Technology of the Trade
Our ever-growing and expanding collection of specialized technology and equipment allows us to effectively meet every aspect of your unique requests.
Precision CNC Turning Machining Services
If your project requires rotational symmetry, the most cost and time effective way to produce it is likely through our CNC turning capabilities. Bolts, screws, pins and other cylindrical components are perfect for this machining technique. CNC turning is facilitated with preprogramed CNC lathes. Because this equipment is less complex than CNC milling systems with multiple axis — it can often be utilized at a lower expense.
Features of our precision CNC turning machining services include:
- Prototyping and limited production runs
- Ability to turn aluminum, stainless steel, brass, plastics exotic metals and many other materials
- Turn parts up to 10″ diameter X 18″ long while holding tolerances of +/-.0002
- Up to 5,000 rpm spindle speed
- Latest CAD/CAM programs to support a variety of file formats
ISO 9001:2015 certification
Precision Horizontal Milling Services
Creating more intricate parts can be affectively accomplished with our horizontal CNC milling machines. These systems perform material reduction on multiple axis with exceptional precision. Our collection of CNC equipment includes both 3 axis and 4 axis milling machines.
Features of our precision CNC turning machining services include:
- Prototyping and limited production runs
- Ability to grade aluminum, stainless steel, brass, plastics exotic metals and many other materials
- Up to 24,000 rpm spindle speed
- Full 4th axis machining
- Machine travel up to 28 3/4”L X 28 3/4”W X 29”H while holding tolerances of +/-.001
- Equipped with Renishaw machine tool probe to reduce set-up time as well improve repeatability and accuracy of part
- Fanuc Robot LR Mate 200iC, which allows for unattended machining
- Latest CAD/CAM programs to support a variety of file formats
