Precision Machine Shop & CNC Services in Austin

Douglas Machine & Engineering provides CNC machining, lathe turning, milling, fabrication, specialty welding, inspection, finishing, and automation support for Austin manufacturers. Capabilities include machining components up to 20,000 lbs, fabricating structural assemblies up to 20 tons, and managing projects from concept and design through production, finishing, documentation, delivery, and installation support.

The company’s CNC machining capabilities support precise tolerances ranging from +/-.005 to +/-.0005, depending on the part geometry, material, inspection requirements, and production approach. Projects are planned around the drawing requirements first, then verified through dimensional inspection, certified gauges, granite table checks, and CMM resources when required.

Douglas Machine & Engineering serves demanding industrial and regulated markets, including aerospace and defense, robotics, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food grade packaging, construction, and general industrial manufacturing. These industries often require tight tolerances, dependable communication, quality documentation, coordinated finishing, and a manufacturing partner capable of managing multiple production steps under one workflow.

Yes. One of the company’s key advantages is project management across multiple manufacturing processes. A program can include CNC machining, fabrication, AWS-certified welding, inspection, paint, powder coating, plating coordination, heat-treat coordination, and installation support. This consolidated approach can reduce transportation costs, simplify purchasing, and keep accountability centralized.

Yes. Inspection services include first article inspection reporting, dimensional verification, certified granite tables, gauges, and CMM analysis through Exact Metrology. Documentation is especially useful for aerospace, defense, and regulated industrial projects where traceability, inspection records, and specification compliance are critical parts of the manufacturing process.

Douglas Machine & Engineering’s in-house design and CNC capabilities can support concept development, process planning, and finished production. The new CNC production shop was opened to expand higher production value capabilities, making the company a fit for teams that need engineering support, repeatable machining, and managed workflows as projects move toward production.

Plating and heat-treat processing are coordinated through qualified supply partners and managed within the overall project workflow. This allows components to receive required corrosion protection, conductivity, wear resistance, hardness, strength, or durability enhancements without forcing customers to manage separate vendors, extra logistics, and disconnected quality communication.

Douglas Machine & Engineering is ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified, JCP approved, SAM approved, and holds Cage Code 87BF4. The company also offers AWS-certified welders, structured inspection resources, first article reporting, and comprehensive project management, all of which support the quality expectations common in aerospace, defense, and government-related manufacturing programs.
