So in any closed system quality begins well below the surface, here, 27″ below ground. We have had many customers fail to engage the expertise of suppliers early in the development process only to discover their lack of due diligence exponentially impacts all aspects of delivering a quality product on time and under budget. If you believe the machine we installed above as a statement of our collective understanding of delivering a quality product please contact us at L&M Machining Center, Inc. an ISO9001:2015, AS9100d & I.T.A.R. registered C.N.C.

Do these “Quality” conversations prior to commitment to process exist in your process development or product design.
