Aerospace CNC Machining
High-precision parts in titanium, Inconel, aluminum 7075, and aerospace-grade stainless — structural components, housings, tooling, fixtures, and MRO work. First-article inspection and full material traceability standard on every job. B&R is not AS9100-registered; programs requiring registered-QMS flow-down need a registered shop, and we say so before you quote.
When the Print Says ±0.0005", It's Not a Negotiation
Aerospace primes and their tier-1s work with shops that hit the print every time — not shops that hit it usually. B&R has been holding tight tolerances in hard alloys since 1994, and is honest about where it fits: prototypes, tooling, fixtures, MRO and non-controlled components. Not AS9100-registered, so registered-QMS programs belong elsewhere — we'd rather say that than waste your RFQ cycle.
Alloys we machine for aerospace
Real materials fluency — the alloys below are weekly work, not experimental jobs.
Structural brackets, airframe hardware, engine components.
Aged. High-temperature engine and exhaust components.
Landing gear and structural hardware.
High-strength primary structural brackets and fittings.
General airframe and secondary structure.
Higher-toughness alternative to 17-4 PH.
Capabilities we bring to aerospace work

Frequently asked questions
Do you have AS9100 certification?
No. B&R is not AS9100-registered, and we say that before you spend time on an RFQ rather than after. If your prime requires AS9100 flow-down, we're the wrong shop for that package. What we do provide on every aerospace job: full material traceability by heat and lot, MTRs, first-article inspection reports with CMM data, and a certificate of conformance with delivery. For prototypes, tooling, fixtures, MRO parts, and non-controlled components, that's usually the package buyers actually need.
Can you machine titanium and Inconel for aerospace applications?
Yes — both are weekly work. Titanium Ti-6Al-4V for structural brackets and hardware. Inconel 718 (aged) for high-temperature engine components. Sharp coated carbide, controlled feeds, high-pressure through-tool coolant on the Hi-Tech and Mega lathes.
What tolerances do you hold on aerospace parts?
±0.0005" routine on critical dimensions. True-position, profile, and runout tolerances per drawing. CMM verification standard on first article and periodic in-process.
Do you handle DFARS-compliant material sourcing?
No — we don't run a DFARS specialty-metals compliance program, so we can't certify sourcing against DFARS 252.225-7008/7009. If your contract flows that down, the material needs to come through a supplier who can. What we do provide on every job is the Material Test Report and heat/lot traceability for whatever stock we run, including customer-supplied material. Send us the requirement with the RFQ and we'll tell you plainly whether it's something we can meet.
What aerospace work is B&R actually a good fit for?
Prototypes, tooling and fixtures, MRO and repair parts, and non-controlled structural components in titanium, Inconel, 17-4/15-5 PH, and 7075 aluminum. We're deliberately not claiming a roster of primes or programs on this page — if a shop lists program names it can't substantiate, that tells you something. Ask us directly what we've run that resembles your part and we'll answer honestly, including when the answer is that we haven't.
Do you serve the Dallas / DFW aerospace corridor?
We ship to DFW regularly and it's an easy corridor for us to serve from New Waverly. Regular ground shipping. In-person meetings by appointment; New Waverly to Dallas is about 3.5 hours.
