At Focused on Machining, we’re proud of our work as an aerospace and defense machine shop because it’s personal for us.
Our owner, Justin Quinn, spent six years in the United States Air Force, serving around the world as a C-17 aircraft mechanic. Now, Justin is passionate about supporting the men and women behind every mission in his work leading a CNC machine shop.
We support the aerospace and defense sectors with high-quality, tight-tolerance machining backed by critical certifications, extensive documentation, and a veteran’s commitment to excellence.
Precision and Documentation: The Foundation of Aerospace Machining
In aerospace and defense, precision isn’t optional—it’s critical. Faulty parts can compromise an entire mission, and that’s why customers in these industries not only have extremely high standards, they demand clear documentation to ensure quality and compliance at every stage.
Our shop leverages ProShop ERP to ensure complete transparency and traceability throughout every aspect of manufacturing. From material certifications to calibration logs to inspection reports, every detail is tracked. When customers need documentation, we’re ready.
Certifications to Meet All Your Requirements
For an aerospace and defense machine shop, certain credentials are non-negotiable. We maintain some of the most important certifications for these sectors:
AS9100 and ISO 9001:2015 Certifications: AS9100 includes all ISO 9001:2015 requirements, along with additional standards for aerospace and defense. Together they demonstrate our commitment to excellence in quality systems for both general and industry-specific projects.
ITAR Registered: We are fully staffed by U.S. citizens and authorized for sensitive defense work.
CMMC Level 2 Compliant: We are ahead of the curve on cybersecurity and will be CMMC Level 2 compliant in the coming months.
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business: We’re proud of our veteran-owned status and can provide our customers with official documentation when needed.
Advanced Machining Capabilities for Precision Parts
Our aerospace and defense machine shop is built specifically to address the challenges of manufacturing for customers in these demanding industries, with capabilities including:
Multi-Axis Machining With Deep Aluminum Expertise
Our advanced multi-axis equipment machines parts with complex geometries in fewer setups, reducing lead times while increasing accuracy and repeatability for custom CNC machining projects. And while our shop works with a variety of materials, our experience with common aerospace options such as 6000 and 7000 series aluminum allows us to machine parts quickly without compromising accuracy.
Assembly Services
We streamline your workflows by delivering completed subassemblies, including performing high-volume rivet installation and installing hardware like nut plates that can be essential to aerospace projects.
Tight Tolerance Machining
Other shops might no-quote jobs with tolerances under +/- 0.0005”, but we’re always ready to meet your specifications. Our skilled machinists and advanced inspection equipment ensure precise results every time.
Streamline Your Projects With Focused on Machining
When we talk to engineers and buyers for aerospace and defense organizations, they often tell us they’re juggling a variety of different vendors: one for tight tolerance machining, one for certain certifications, one for specialized capabilities, and more. At Focused on Machining, we offer all of these in a single precision machine shop, backed by a team that truly understands your mission.
