Machining the propeller mount other shops couldn't

The problem

An aerospace company needed a propeller mount machined in 6061 aluminum with ±0.02mm tolerances on the mounting bores — a requirement several machine shops had already attempted and failed to meet. Each failed attempt cost them weeks.

Our approach

Our engineers reviewed the drawing before committing, confirmed which features carried the critical tolerances, and matched the job to the machining partner in our network with proven capability at this precision level — rather than hoping a general-purpose shop could stretch.

The result

The propeller mounts were machined, inspected against the drawing, and delivered in one week. The parts met the ±0.02mm requirement that had eliminated the previous shops.
