New Waverly, Texas | Serving Conroe, Huntsville, The Woodlands & North Houston
Aerospace CNC Machining
±0.0005" precision CNC machining for aerospace components. Based in New Waverly, serving contractors throughout Conroe, The Woodlands, Huntsville, North Houston, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio with rapid turnaround on prototypes and production runs.
Fast, Precise Aerospace CNC Machining
Tight tolerances, fast turnaround, and zero excuses.
You don't have time to wait three weeks for a prototype. You can't afford rework on a $3,000 titanium blank. And you definitely don't want to explain to your program manager why parts are late again. Your prototype ships in days—not weeks. Your production parts hit ±0.0005" tolerances. And your budget doesn't explode on a 10-piece order.
Why Aerospace Teams Trust B&R Production
B&R Productions is the East Texas CNC machine shop aerospace programs depend on when precision, reliability, and schedule integrity cannot slip. Based in New Waverly and serving aerospace contractors throughout Conroe, Huntsville, The Woodlands, North Houston, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, we machine components for flight-support assemblies, space systems, UAV platforms, and defense applications—parts that must maintain dimensional stability under high-G loading, vibration, extreme temperatures, and mission-critical operating conditions.
In aerospace, a missed tolerance can stall an integration schedule, and a late delivery can halt an entire program. That's why B&R Productions treats every component with the same rigor and accountability as if it were destined for our own aircraft. Because in this industry, anything less than precise isn't just costly—it compromises the mission.

Why Aerospace Companies Choose Us
Precision, No Excuses, or Bloated Pricing
When certified shops take six weeks to quote a prototype, we’re already shipping.
20–30% Faster
Aerospace programs move fast, and your machining supplier should too. While big certified shops push prototypes three to six weeks out, we start programming and scheduling immediately. Most prototypes ship in just a few days, and production runs follow quickly. This keeps your design cycles moving andprevents program bottlenecks.
Tight Tolerances
Our 5-axis mills and precision CNC lathes consistently hit ±0.0005" on critical aerospace features, even on complex geometries. Every part goes through detailed in-house inspection, with optional CMM verification for programs requiring full dimensional reporting. You get predictable accuracy and parts that meet spec the first time.
Materials Expertise
We CNC machine aerospace alloys every day—2024, 6061, 7075, Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718/625, 17-4PH, and more. We know how these materials behave under heat, load, tool pressure, and chip evacuation. That means no wasted blanks, no broken tools passed into your cost, and no trial-and-error machining on your dime.
Built to Scale
Start with a single prototype and scale to 25, 50, or 100+ pieces without changing suppliers. Our machinists learn your part during early iterations and carry that knowledge through production, reducing setup time, improving consistency, and removing the risk that comes from switching shops mid-program.
Complex Geometry
Our equipment lineup supports the challenging shapes common in aerospace machining. From simultaneous 5-axis milling to long-bed turning up to 120", we handle parts that demand compound angles, deep features, precision bores, or multi-operation work. If your geometry is tough, we’re the shop equipped to cut it.
Fair Pricing
You shouldn’t pay inflated “aerospace premiums” just because your part flies. We quote fairly, offer small-batch pricing, and avoid the high minimum quantities that certified shops demand. Whether you need one piece or a full run, you get clear, itemized pricing with no surprises and no unnecessary costs.

What Makes Us Reliable
How We Keep Aerospace Programs on Schedule
Aerospace delays ripple through entire engineering teams, assembly lines, and flight-test programs. Our process is built to protect your timeline by eliminating surprises, catching issues early, and machining parts correctly the first time.
Rapid Response
Aerospace RFQs often come with tight deadlines tied to integration or test schedules. We prioritize urgent requests and return most quotes the same day. When your build is waiting on hardware, we move immediately—not after a backlog clears.
Realistic Timelines
We don’t provide aspirational delivery dates. You receive schedules based on real machining capacity, tooling availability, and our active work queue. Our timelines are achievable, predictable, and aligned with program requirements—not best-case guesses.
Design & Print Validation
Ambiguous tolerances, missing callouts, conflicting datums, and incomplete GD&T slow down aerospace manufacturing. We flag these issues before machining begins, preventing scrapped parts, redesigns, or mid-process clarifications that derail your schedule.
Machine Selection
Complex 5-axis geometry goes on our 5-axis mills; long cylindrical components go on long-bed lathes; small precision parts run on rigid, high-accuracy machines. Matching each part to the right equipment ensures better surface finish, tighter tolerances, and faster throughput.
In Process Checks
Critical aerospace features—mating surfaces, tight bores, threads, weight-sensitive geometries—are inspected during machining, not just at the final check. Mid-process inspection prevents dimensional drift, ensures conformity, and eliminates time-consuming rework.
Assembly-Ready Delivery
Every part ships clean, deburred, protected, and clearly labeled with required documentation. Aerospace components arrive ready for integration—no extra prep, no missing certs, and no last-minute surprises slowing down your build or test schedule.

Real Aerospace Challenges We’ve Solved
When aerospace schedules slip, entire programs feel the impact. A single missing component can stall assembly, delay testing, or ground an aircraft. You need a machine shop that responds fast, communicates clearly, and delivers components that meet tolerance the first time—because there is no margin for guesswork in flight hardware. Below are two real-world aerospace scenarios that show how B&R Productions keeps engineering teams on schedule and prevents costly program delays.
Flight-Test Critical Component
The Problem: An aerospace contractor preparing for a flight-test window discovered a cracked titanium actuator housing during pre-assembly inspection. The aircraft could not proceed to testing without the part, and the next available test slot was weeks away. Every day of delay added significant cost to the program and risked missing a contractual milestone.
What Most Shops Said
Lead time: 5–7 weeks
Reason: “Titanium is slow to machine. Too complex. Not enough capacity.”
What B&R Productions Did
- Located certified Ti-6Al-4V material within hours
- Reverse-engineered the damaged housing and validated all critical features
- Machined the part using a combined turning + milling workflow
- Performed in-process checks on bores, sealing faces, and thread profiles
- Delivered the completed component in 5 days
The Result: The aircraft entered its scheduled flight-test window without delay. The contractor avoided a multi-week schedule slip and now routes all urgent titanium and prototype work to B&R Productions.
Flight Hardware With No Docs
The Problem: A defense aviation program needed to replace a legacy aluminum control linkage used on an aging aircraft platform. The component was decades old with no CAD model, no drawing, no GD&T, and no technical data package. Without a replacement part, the aircraft would remain grounded, jeopardizing mission readiness and inspection schedules.
What Most Shops Said
Lead Time: Indefinite
Reason: “We can’t manufacture it without a drawing or 3D model.”
What B&R Productions Did
- Reverse-engineered the part from the original hardware, capturing all critical dimensions.
- Mapped bores, radii, tolerances, and fits using precision metrology
- Created a new CAD model and machining strategy based on the restored geometry
- Machined a new linkage using certified aerospace-grade material
The Result: The aircraft returned to service in less than two weeks—with a fully documented, repeatable part now on file for future maintenance cycles. The customer no longer relies on obsolete supply chains or last-minute sourcing crises.
