Company Description SMT specializes in precision machined components and assemblies primarily for the aircraft, aerospace, and defense industries. We have 21 CNC machines, including 6 horizontal mills (3 of which are on a 23‑pallet FMS and 1 has its own 6‑pallet system), 1 high‑speed, 4‑axis, vertical mill, 4 vertical mills with capability up to fifth‑axis positioning, and 8 lathes (some with live tooling). Our 2 most advanced CNC lathes are twin‑spindle, have twin Y‑axis turrets with live tooling, and are in a cell with a Fanuc robot.

Niche Capabilities

Complex internal and external deburring and finishing under 10‑40× magnification

Process to create precision .0005" tolerance bores with less than 16 microfinish, and 11 sigma capability
