Our CNC Manufacturing Capabilities
Homestead Defense is equipped to support a wide range of production needs, from single prototypes to production batches.
Our capabilities include:
✔ Haas CNC Milling (3-Axis)
Ideal for:
- Optic mounts
- Brackets
- Plates
- Billet accessories
- Suppressor components
- Precision hardware
Large enough for production runs, flexible enough for prototypes.
✔ CAD/CAM Programming
Advanced toolpaths for:
- Tight tolerances
- Complex geometries
- Efficient machining
- Clean surface finishes
✔ Manual Machining for Second Operations
Perfect for:
- Deburring
- Chamfers
- Cleanup cuts
- Precision fitment
- Custom R&D adjustments
✔ Future Y-Axis Lathe Capability
We support lathe-based R&D and design work and are building out capability for future Y-axis, twin-spindle lathe machining for suppressor components, mounts, and cylindrical parts.
(Until our Y-axis lathe is installed, we only accept work that fits our current equipment, but all future capabilities are being built around higher-volume suppressor contracts.)
✔ Small-Batch & Prototype Friendly
We excel at:
- 1 to 10 unit prototypes
- 10 to 100 unit batches
- Short lead times
- Fast revisions
- Startup and new-product support
This is what separates you from large OEM shops.
