Fine Machine Works

An AS9100D-Certified Quality Management System

Fine Machine Works operates under an AS9100-certified Quality Management System aligned with the airworthiness, traceability, and configuration-control requirements of aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and MRO organizations. The Company’s operational framework emphasizes documented compliance, revision integrity, and disciplined process control within regulated aerospace supply chains.

Fine Machine Works

Tight-Tolerance Aerospace Components, Verified on the Shop Floor

Fine Machine Works has extensive experience machining high-specification industrial components requiring tight tolerances, repeatability, and dimensional stability. This work is supported by an advanced dimensional inspection capability, including a Hexagon 7.10.7 SF coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

The system enables precise verification of complex geometries and critical tolerances directly on the shop floor. This provides immediate inspection feedback at the point of production and supports First Article Inspection (AS9102) requirements while maintaining process control throughout production runs.

Capabilities

Aerospace Machining Capabilities

Aerospace components are produced in-house on 3-, 4- and 5-axis (4+1) vertical machining centers, CNC lathes, and turn-mill systems. Routine tolerances of ±0.0005 in (±0.013 mm) are achieved, depending on part geometry and material.

Documentation and Engineering Change Management

Requirements Flowed Through Every Stage

As aerospace programs demand strict adherence to controlled documentation and engineering change management, engineering data, customer clauses, and technical specifications are formally reviewed and flowed through production planning, machining, inspection, and final documentation processes. These include:

  • Formal contract review and requirement flow-down
  • Configuration and revision control of engineering drawings
  • First Article Inspection in accordance with AS9102
  • Structured non-conformance management and corrective action reporting
  • Retention of objective evidence and quality records

How an Aerospace Program Moves Through FMW

From RFQ to Certified Delivery

Contract Review

Drawings, customer clauses, and specifications are reviewed and flowed down before an order is accepted.

First Article

First-off parts are measured on the Hexagon CMM and documented to AS9102.

Controlled Production

Production runs under revision control, in-process inspection, and full material traceability.

Certified Delivery

Each shipment includes a Certificate of Conformance and supporting quality records.

Our production scheduling, inspection throughout, and communication channels are structured to support time-sensitive requirements while maintaining documented compliance and inspection integrity. Initial engagement may include prototype builds, first article programs, and controlled production releases within established aerospace supply chains.

Aerospace FAQ

Questions Aerospace Buyers Ask

Drafted from real Search Console queries and the questions buyers put to Google and AI assistants. Answers use only facts already on the website; Si to confirm.

Is Fine Machine Works AS9100 certified?
Yes. Fine Machine Works operates under an AS9100:D and ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System, supporting the traceability, configuration-control, and documentation requirements of aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and MRO organizations.
Do you provide First Article Inspection to AS9102?
Yes. First Article Inspection is performed in accordance with AS9102, with first-off parts verified on a Hexagon 7.10.7 SF coordinate measuring machine before production is released.
What tolerances can you hold on aerospace parts?
Routine tolerances of ±0.0005 in (±0.013 mm) are achieved, depending on part geometry and material. Tolerance requirements are confirmed during contract review.
Can you machine legacy or obsolete aerospace parts?
Yes. Low-volume, legacy, and obsolescence mitigation components are part of our typical aerospace work, including structural repair components and machined replacements for MRO organizations.
Which aerospace materials do you machine?
Aluminum alloys, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steels, titanium, Inconel, beryllium copper, ToughMet®, and engineering plastics, with full heat/lot traceability from raw material through finished product.
What order quantities do you support?
Prototype, low-volume, and medium-volume production, including first article programs and controlled production releases. Typical lead time: to confirm.
