Machining Jigs

Engineering-Grade Tooling Built for High-Precision Machining

At SWT Aerospace, we leverage our experience as a precision CNC machine shop to engineer workholding solutions that solve real-world manufacturing challenges. From dedicated 80% lower receiver machining jigs to modular 5-axis tombstone fixtures, every piece of tooling is manufactured to rigid tolerances and 100% verified for positional accuracy.

Our Workholding & Tooling Capabilities:

  • Precision Drill & Reaming Jigs: Equipped with hardened tool steel bushings to eliminate drill bit walk and ensure repeatable hole spacing across complex geometries.

  • CNC Milling & Fixture Plates: Heavy-mass sub-plates featuring precision-ground dowel locations and hardened steel threads for fast, reliable part clamping.

  • Custom Production Fixtures: Engineered for multi-part loading, quick-change zero-point systems, and high-density hydraulic or pneumatic clamping.

Why Partner with SWT Aerospace for Machining Fixtures?

Inconsistent workholding leads to scrap parts, premature tool wear, and lost spindle hours. Our fixtures are built to deliver maximum mass and vibration damping, allowing your shop to run more aggressive speeds and feeds while maintaining mirror-smooth surface finishes. Every fixture design undergoes complete CAD/CAM toolpath simulation to guarantee tool clearance, fast chip evacuation, and ergonomic operator loading.
