Precision CNC Machining

Tight Tolerances Across Demanding Engineering Metals

Multi-axis CNC machining for precision components from wrought bar, plate, or near-net-shape cast and forged blanks. Supported by CMM inspection and complete dimensional documentation.

Process Overview

CNC machining scope at Oakmet

Oakmet coordinates precision CNC machining for components that require tight dimensional tolerances, complex multi-axis geometry, or final machining of cast and forged blanks. We work with machining partners experienced in difficult-to-machine alloys including nickel superalloys, titanium, duplex and super duplex stainless, and hardened steels.

Programs range from single-part prototypes to production runs. Each program is supported by CMM inspection and dimensional reporting. For first article programs, full FAIR documentation can be provided.
