Precision CNC Machining for Automotive Teams

Automotive companies in Union City need parts that are repeatable, durable, and cost-effective. A drivetrain housing that's off by 0.003 inches affects assembly fit and seal performance. We machine aluminum, steel, and stainless to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches with full documentation.

1

Automotive Materials

We machine aluminum 6061/7075, 4140 steel, stainless, and engineering plastics — all with full material certs and traceability on request.

2

Tight Tolerances

We hold ±0.001" on general features and ±0.0005" on critical bores, journals, and sealing surfaces. Every part CMM verified.
