Aerospace CNC Machining
Manufacturers for the aerospace industry use a variety of CNC machining processes to machine critical no-fail components for aircraft, space shuttles, satellites, and other highly specialized aviation equipment. Due to their environment, aerospace machined components must be manufactured within exceptionally tight tolerances to exact specifications. For this reason, aerospace manufacturing companies often use CNC machining to create extremely precise components.
Established in 1996, McCormick Industries is a reliable provider of top-quality precision machined parts for the aerospace industry. Our capabilities include CNC turning, CNC milling, and Swiss precision turning with tolerances as tight as ±0.0001″. We are committed to providing superior-quality, precision components in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 standards.

Swiss Precision CNC Machining
We provide Swiss Precision CNC machining services to produce critical aerospace components rapidly and with an exceptional degree of accuracy. Our Swiss-turning equipment can produce extremely small and detailed aerospace parts with diameters up to 1.25″. Coupled with our lights-out operation capabilities and reduced cycle times, our Swiss CNC machine services can handle both high- and low-production volumes with the utmost speed and efficiency.
Tolerances:
- Diameter: ±0.0001″
- Length: ±0.0001″
- Roundness: ±0.00008″
CNC Turning
McCormick Industries’ CNC-turning services incorporate cutting-edge precision technology to ensure production speed within exceptionally tight tolerances. Our CNC-turning equipment uses up to two high-speed spindles simultaneously, along with live tooling capability for detailed features on components up to 18.00″ in length x 1.625″ in diameter. With the latest CNC machines, control systems and intelligent tooling, we can produce precise and repeatable parts for both large- and small-scale production runs.
Tolerances:
- Diameter: ±.0001″
- Length: ±.0001″
- Roundness: ±.00008″
CNC Milling
At McCormick Industries, we are pleased to offer superior-quality CNC milling services through our highly advanced vertical machining centers (VMCs). Our VMCs are specifically designed to perform milling, drilling, and tapping processes with the greatest degree of speed and accuracy, with spindle speeds of up to 12,000 RPM, rigid tapping speeds up to 8,000 RPM, and rapid traverse speeds of up to 50 meters per minute. With our experienced and knowledgeable staff, our CNC milling services can be used to complete both high- and low-volume runs quickly and accurately.
Tolerances:
- Positioning Accuracy: ±.0003″
- Repeatability: ±.0002″
