Traditional and
Non-Traditional
We run both kinds of machining, so every feature gets the process that holds it best.
01.
Traditional
Multi-axis CNC milling, turning and Swiss machining
- 3- to 5-axis vertical and horizontal milling
- Milling and turning in a single setup
- Swiss machining for small, complex parts
- Materials from composites to hardened steels
.00005″Ground flat to .00005″, with finishes as fine as 4 µin Ra
Non-Traditional
Wire and sinker EDM, hole popping and form grinding
- Wire EDM to ±.0001″ with no cutting force on the part
- Sinker EDM for internal features and tooling
- Hole popper: holes as small as .008″, up to 100:1
- CNC form and surface grinding, flat to .00005″

About RS Precision
Since 1949, two generations of Savitzkys have grown a tool and die shop into a maker of complex, mission-critical parts for the country's best-known aerospace, defense and medical suppliers.
CEO Bob Savitzky took over from his father, founder Abe Savitzky, after starting out as a manufacturing engineer at Hewlett Packard. His “beyond the blueprint” approach means working with your engineers on how the part performs and what it costs, not only on what the print says.
Our work?
It's
complicated.
Holes to .001″ diameter. Slots to .001″ wide. Tolerances to ±.0001″.
- 1.
CNC Grinding
±.0001″ · flatness to .00005″ · finishes to 4 µin Ra
Our roots are in tool and die, so grinding is a craft here. Twelve surface grinders, five of them CNC, handle form and surface work on tool steels, Inconel, titanium, stainless, ceramics and carbides.
- 2.
CNC Milling
3- to 5-axis · vertical and horizontal
Mazak, DMG Mori, Matsuura and Fanuc RoboDrill machining centers cut intricate features and deep pockets in fewer setups, for prototypes and production runs alike.
- 3.
CNC EDM
Wire EDM to ±.0001″ · hole popper to .008″ at 100:1
Wire EDM, sinker EDM and a hole popper cut hardened and exotic materials with no cutting force on the part. Sharp internal corners, thin walls, deep slots and blind internal features.
- 4.
CNC Multi-Axis Mill-Turning
Milling and turning in one setup
Mazak Integrex and Mori-Seiki NT mill-turn centers finish complex parts in a single operation, which holds concentricity and shortens lead time. CNC Swiss machining covers small, complex parts.
- 5.
Inspection & Assembly
CMM · FARO arm · Keyence · OGP SmartScope
A Brown & Sharpe CMM with PC-DMIS, a FARO Gage Max arm and optical measuring systems check the features that matter. In-house assembly, with rivets and helical coils, ships the part complete.
