In the aerospace industry, precision is everything. From aircraft landing gear to turbine components, even the smallest deviation can compromise performance, safety, and compliance. Aerospace manufacturers work with some of the most challenging materials in the world, and achieving tolerances measured in microns requires advanced tooling, strict quality standards, and a proven partner with decades of expertise.
Certified Expertise in Aerospace Tooling
Epic Tool is proud to be approved under the Controlled Goods Program (CGP), a federal designation that authorizes us to design and manufacture tooling for regulated aerospace and defense applications. These specialized tools play a vital role in critical projects—from aircraft landing gear and components for the International Space Station to precision tooling for defense equipment. Achieving approval under the CGP underscores our ability to meet the stringent quality standards of aerospace manufacturing, where reliability, accuracy, and consistency are absolutely essential.
The Challenge of Aerospace Machining
Aerospace materials are designed for strength, durability, and performance, but those same qualities make them difficult to machine:
-
Titanium: Lightweight and strong, but produces extreme heat during machining, leading to tool wear.
-
Inconel: Heat-resistant and durable, but prone to work-hardening that challenges precision.
-
Composite stacks: Deliver weight reduction, but risk splintering or delamination without the right tooling.
Holding tight tolerances in these materials requires more than off-the-shelf solutions, it demands custom tooling designed for the job.
Aerospace Tooling Solutions
For over 10 years, Epic Tool has partnered with aerospace manufacturers to overcome these challenges. Our custom carbide tools are engineered for precision and reliability in mission-critical applications.
Our solutions include:
-
Custom geometries for titanium, Inconel, and composites
-
Coolant-through designs for improved chip evacuation and heat control
-
Advanced coatings (AlTiN, PVD, diamond-like) for superior wear resistance
-
CNC precision grinding for tool-to-tool consistency and repeatable accuracy
These innovations ensure aerospace manufacturers achieve the highest levels of precision and efficiency, even under the toughest conditions.
Quality Standards That Exceed Expectations
Our aerospace tooling is manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment and rigorous inspection protocols. Every tool undergoes detailed quality checks, including verification with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), to ensure it meets or exceeds required tolerances.
By combining cutting-edge manufacturing with meticulous inspection, we deliver the confidence aerospace manufacturers need to keep production running smoothly and safely.
