Turnkey CNC Machining Services — Single-Source Manufacturing

Sourcing precision parts shouldn’t require you to manage five different vendors. Fairchild’s turnkey manufacturing services let you hand off the entire part lifecycle — from initial design consultation through machining, finishing, inspection, and inventory management — to a single AS9100-certified partner who takes responsibility for the outcome.  For Tier 2 suppliers and OEMs that run tight production schedules, this isn’t a luxury. It’s how you reduce procurement complexity, eliminate handoff risk, and keep your supply chain moving.

 

What Turnkey Means at Fairchild

  • Design & Engineering Support: Our machinists and engineers review your print before a single chip is cut. We identify features that could affect cost, cycle time, or quality — and we’ll tell you about them before you’re committed to a production run.
  • CNC Machining: All machining is performed in-house at our 15,000+ sq ft facility in Winsted, Connecticut. Swiss turning, CNC turning, and multi-axis milling are all under one roof, allowing seamless transitions between operations without the scheduling gaps that come with outside processing.
  • Finishing & Secondary Operations: Through our qualified supplier network, Fairchild coordinates finishing operations including plating, heat treating, anodizing, passivation, and more. You get finished, ready-to-use parts — not raw machined components that require additional processing on your end.
  • Inspection & Quality Documentation: Every order goes through our AS9100-certified inspection process. First article inspection reports, material certifications, and dimensional reports are available upon request. You get the paperwork your supply chain requires without having to chase it down.
  • Inventory & Blanket Order Programs: Fairchild offers blanket order agreements that allow you to lock in pricing and capacity for up to a year, with flexible release schedules based on your production needs. We can work with your procurement team to align our production schedule with your inventory requirements.

 

Why Single-Source Manufacturing Matters

Every time a part changes hands between vendors, something can go wrong — a miscommunication on tolerance, a delay at the plating shop, a quality escape that gets missed in the handoff. Fairchild’s turnkey model keeps accountability in one place.  When you call with a question about your order, you talk to us. When a delivery date changes, we tell you — we don’t wait for you to discover it. That’s not a sales promise. It’s how we’ve operated since 1944.

FAQ

Q: What does ‘turnkey’ mean in CNC machining?

In precision machining, a turnkey service means the supplier manages the complete manufacturing process — from reviewing the engineering drawing and machining the part to coordinating finishing operations, performing inspection, and delivering finished, ready-to-use components. You provide the print and the purchase order; Fairchild handles the rest.

Q: What finishing operations can Fairchild coordinate?

Through our established supplier network, Fairchild can coordinate a range of finishing operations including electroplating, zinc plating, nickel plating, heat treating, anodizing, passivation, black oxide, and tumbling/deburring. Ask our team about specific finishes for your application.

Q: Do you offer blanket orders or long-term supply agreements?

Yes. Fairchild offers blanket order programs where you can commit to a full year’s volume and release quantities on a schedule that fits your production needs. This gives you price stability, guaranteed capacity, and simplified procurement. We can also work with your team on custom long-term supply agreements for high-volume, ongoing production parts.
