A great fit for
- Tight-tolerance parts requiring centerless/ID/cylindrical grinding with gauged repeatability
- Swiss-turned micro/miniature components with downstream grinding/honing
- Programs needing PPAP/FAI, SPC, and documented inspection flow
Not a fit for…
- Same-day emergency builds
- Large prismatic fabrications or sheet-metal assemblies
- Non-domestic sourcing requests
