Multi-axis CNC steel machining in mild and carbon steel, alloy steel, tool steel, and stainless. Machining, in-house heat treatment, and finishing run as one program, so the same supplier holds the part from bar stock to hardened, finished, and inspected. ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified facilities. The U.S. team runs material selection and quality documentation.

Share your part details, drawings, or CAD files. Redstone will review the requirements and confirm feasibility, tolerances, materials, lead time, and next steps.
Final specifications are confirmed during the technical feasibility review.
Redstone helps hardware teams move from released drawings to repeat production with documented quality, competitive unit costs, and engineering support from the U.S.
ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949, AS9100, and ISO 14001 active across the certified facility list. Statistical process control on volume runs. Third-party inspection at origin before every shipment. Audit-ready documentation included.
Your RFQ goes to a specific facility and a dedicated U.S. program manager, not a bidding portal. Redstone owns the CNC steel machining relationship and the quality outcome. One U.S. point of contact from quote through receiving dock.
Material selection, DFM review, and quality documentation run from the U.S. team. Machining, in-house heat treatment and hardening, and finishing run at the certified facility, so the same supplier controls dimensions before and after hardening. You get one invoice and one contact in your time zone.

From initial drawings to final delivery, Redstone keeps each stage clear, documented, and aligned with production requirements.
Each handoff is documented. No stage moves forward until drawings, materials, and production requirements are confirmed with the customer.
Send part files, steel family or application, hardness target, and annual volume. Same-day technical feasibility review. Full quote within 48 hours, including material, finishing, freight, and customs where applicable.
Review the quote and production plan. Sign the production agreement. Redstone confirms steel grade, heat treatment plan, facility assignment, and first-article schedule.
First-article parts are machined, heat-treated, and finished, then ship to your engineering team for sign-off with a dimensional report. First-article inspection documented before volume release.
Volume machining runs at the assigned certified facility. Heat treatment and hardening run in-house under the same program. Statistical process control applied on volume runs. Lot traceability maintained end to end.
Third-party inspection at origin against your approved drawings and tolerances, with CMM verification on critical features. Dimensional report, hardness verification, and material certification included in every shipment. US customs brokerage handled. Landed cost on your dock matches the number Redstone quoted.

Metal injection molding design requires uniform wall thickness, proper gating, and sintering shrinkage planning. Learn the key MIM part design rules before you commit to tooling.
CNC machining tolerances range from ±0.005" standard to ±0.001" tight. Learn the standards, callout types, and charts that keep rework and cost under control.
2024 and 6061 are both workhorse aerospace alloys, but they serve opposite needs: 2024 delivers high strength and fatigue resistance under tension, while 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility.
7075 aluminum nearly doubles the tensile strength of 6061 and dominates aerospace tooling, but it is generally considered non-weldable and harder to form. 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility for a broader range of industries.
6061 aluminum can be bent, but its precipitation-hardened T6 temper makes it prone to cracking if handled without the right techniques. Proper bend radii, annealing, and controlled heating are all essential for successful results.
A36 and AR500 are two common steel grades with very different strengths. A36 is valued for workability and low cost; AR500 is engineered for extreme wear and abrasion resistance.

Mild or carbon steel for general structural and machined parts. Alloy steel when the part needs higher strength and runs hardened in service. Tool steel for dies, jigs, and wear parts. Stainless 303 or 316 for corrosion resistance. Send your model and target hardness, and Redstone confirms the steel family at the feasibility review.
Yes. Heat treatment and hardening run in-house under the same program as machining. Through-hardening, case hardening, and stress relief are available, so the same supplier controls dimensions before and after hardening. Hardness is verified and documented before shipment.
±0.001 inch standard on 3-axis and 4-axis machining, and ±0.0005 inch on 5-axis and qualifying programs. Critical features are verified by CMM, and first-article inspection is documented before volume release. Send your drawings and Redstone confirms the achievable tolerance against the feature and the steel at quoting.
Black oxide for corrosion resistance and appearance, galvanizing for outdoor and structural parts, and nickel plating for wear and corrosion. Bead blasting and passivation on stainless are also available. Multi-step finish stacks run in-line. Redstone confirms the finish against your service environment at the quoting stage.
Yes. Send the existing drawings, inspection records, and current supplier quote. Redstone assesses feasibility, runs a parallel quote with the certified facilities, and projects landed-cost savings and lead-time impact before you commit. Heat treatment and finishing are folded into the same program so the part runs under one supplier.
