At Fairchild Precision Parts, we specialize in high-precision Swiss-turned components designed for performance, consistency, and scale. We’re not a transactional job shop. We are a long-term production partner for companies that need reliable, repeatable manufacturing at higher volumes.
If you’re looking for a machining partner who understands tolerance control, process capability, and sustained growth — you’re in the right place.
The Types of Parts We Specialize In
Our core expertise is in small-diameter, tight-tolerance turned components produced on Swiss-style CNC lathes.
📏 Ideal Part Size Range
While we can run a range of geometries, we are most competitive when parts fall within:
-
Diameter: ~0.062″ (1/16″) up to 1.25″
-
Length: Up to 6.00″ overall length
-
Sweet spot: Under 1.00″ diameter and under 4.00″ length
These dimensions align perfectly with Swiss machining, where guide bushing support allows for exceptional stability and precision on long, slender parts.
🎯 Tolerance Capabilities
Precision is not just a claim — it’s a system.
-
Standard production tolerances: ±0.001″
-
Common tight tolerances: ±0.0005″
-
Critical features: Capable of holding ±0.0002″ when required
-
Threads: Unified and metric, including UN, UNR, UNRC, and specialty thread forms
-
Surface finishes: Down to 8 Ra and better depending on material and geometry
We design our processes around repeatability — dialing in setups, validating first-piece inspections, and maintaining control through production runs that span thousands to tens of thousands of parts.
The Industries We Primarily Serve
We support customers in industries where precision and reliability are non-negotiable:
-
Aerospace & Defense
-
Instrumentation & Controls
-
Industrial Equipment
-
Fluid & Motion Control
-
Electromechanical Assemblies
Many of our customers require material certifications, traceability, and robust inspection documentation. Our systems are built to support those expectations.
Built for Production — Not One-Offs
We thrive in repeat production.
While we can support prototyping, our operational model is optimized for:
-
Annual volumes from 5,000 to 100,000+ pieces
-
Blanket orders with scheduled releases
-
Long-term agreements
-
Forecast-driven production
-
Multi-year customer partnerships
Why? Because true excellence in precision manufacturing comes from learning your part, refining the process, and improving year over year.
The first run is the beginning. The second run is where the partnership shines.
What Makes Us Different
We focus on becoming an extension of your team:
-
We invest in process capability — not shortcuts
-
We proactively communicate on delivery and quality
-
We support design for manufacturability conversations
-
We think in terms of total lifecycle value, not just piece price
Our customers don’t want surprises. They want stability. They want responsiveness. They want a partner who understands that their growth depends on dependable supply.
That’s how we operate.
