CNC Milling Machining
Precision CNC Milling Capabilities
Prototype to Low–Medium Volume Production
Mayfly Manufacturing provides precision CNC milling services for engineered components requiring accuracy, repeatability, and consistent quality. We support customers from early prototypes through low–medium volume production, with a focus on ISO 9001 process control, material understanding, and dependable execution.
Our CNC milling services are built for parts that need to be right the first time.
CNC Milling Focused on Accuracy and Process Control
Successful CNC milling depends on more than machine capability. Part quality is driven by fixturing, tooling, cutting strategy, and inspection discipline.
At Mayfly Manufacturing, our milling approach emphasizes:
- Stable, repeatable workholding
- Tooling and toolpaths matched to material and geometry
- Controlled climate
- Consistent in-process inspection
This allows us to deliver reliable results across a wide range of part designs and materials.
CNC Milling Capabilities
We provide precision CNC milling for a variety of parts and applications.
Typical Capabilities
- 3-axis CNC milling
- 4-axis horizontal CNC milling
- Precision pocketing, profiling, and drilling
- Tight-tolerance features and critical surfaces
- Fixture-based repeatability for production runs
- Prototype through low–medium volume production
- Secondary operations as required
Typical tolerances of ±.005” are common, with tighter tolerances possible depending on material and geometry.
Materials We CNC Mill
We machine a broad range of materials using CNC milling processes, including:
Metals
- Aluminum
- Stainless Steels
- Mild Steels
- Low-Alloy Steels
Plastics
- Engineering plastics and wear-resistant polymers
Composite Materials
- G10 / FR4 / G11 glass epoxy composites
- G7 glass silicone composite
- G9 glass melamine composite
- Phenolic laminates
- Carbon fiber composites
While we support many materials, we bring additional expertise when milling abrasive or laminated composite materials that require specialized tooling and strategies.
What Sets Our CNC Milling Apart
Process-Driven Machining
We focus on repeatable processes rather than one-off setups, resulting in more consistent parts, predictable lead times, and reduced scrap.
Material-Aware Milling
Different materials behave very differently under the cutter. Our experience allows us to choose cutting strategies that protect surface finish, edge quality, and dimensional stability.
Engineering-Focused Support
We regularly work directly with engineers to:
- Improve part manufacturability
- Optimize tolerances
- Reduce machining time and cost
- Prevent common machining issues
Reliable Manufacturing Partner
Purchasing teams value us for:
- Clear communication
- Honest feedback on feasibility
- Predictable delivery
- Consistent quality
Common CNC-Milled Applications
Our CNC milling services support components such as:
- Precision plates, spacers, and blocks
- Housings and structural components
- Electrical insulation parts
- Fixtures and tooling
- Prototype and production assemblies
If your application requires precision, stability, and repeatable quality, CNC milling is often the right solution.
Design Tips for CNC Milling
Early design decisions can significantly impact part quality, lead time, and cost:
- Avoid unnecessarily tight tolerances
- Allow reasonable internal corner radii
- Minimize deep, narrow pockets and holes where possible
- Consider material behavior during design
We’re happy to review prints and provide feedback before machining begins.
