CNC Machining Explained: How North State Machine Delivers Tight Tolerances
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is the foundation of modern manufacturing, enabling precise, repeatable, and efficient production of complex components. At North State Machine, our CNC capabilities include vertical and horizontal milling, turning, and multi-axis machining using Haas and KIWA machines.
Tight tolerances—often ±0.0002"—are critical in industries like aerospace and defense where even the smallest deviation can result in performance issues or part failure. Achieving this level of precision requires not only advanced equipment but also skilled machinists, rigorous quality control protocols, and a deep understanding of material behavior.
Our engineers work closely with clients to optimize part geometry for manufacturability. We also employ in-process inspections and post-machining measurements using CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) to ensure that every component meets the desired specifications. With short lead times, flexible production schedules, and a customer-first philosophy, we consistently deliver parts that perform under pressure.
