About Us

RJD Machining, founded in 1987, is a very modern company that is continuously improving and developing our processes and people skills. We specialize in precision production runs and prototype work for O.E.M’s in, but not limited too, the medical equipment, aerospace, electronic component, optical, measuring instrument, pumping, electro-magnetic, computer storage industry, and photonics industries. We can machine very small precision parts, the size of a small diamond earring. We can mill components up to 30 1/2” in length by 20” wide. Our size capability for lathe work is 8 inches in diameter and up to 20 inches long. Approximately 75% of the parts we manufacture are made from aluminum while the remainder of our work is a plastic, stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, copper, and most alloys. We have an excellent network of support vendors that provide plating, painting, welding, heat treatment, brazing, etc.

RJD Machining continues to reinvest earnings to ensure our ongoing ability to grow with our clients. The company uses two of the best systems in the world today to run its day-to-day operations. Epicor continues to refine and improve the “Vista” platform. This high-end software program enables RJD to track machine and employee efficiencies and material and labor costs. It’s a critical component for maximizing operating efficiencies.

Our philosophy for quality control is that of a journey and not that of a destination. We are constantly refining and looking for ways to improve our procedures, thereby raising our standards. After all, that’s what we are in business for…..to make the highest quality parts, at the most competitive prices possible, delivered to the clients at their prescribed time.

In-House Programming

All ten CNC machines are connected to our “MasterCam” CAD/CAM programming system that allows for speed and accuracy in downloading programs. We have on-site programmers who work well with engineers to ensure the final product meets all blueprint specifications. We are proficient at using IGES and DFX files, utilizing the technologies of “MasterCam X2.” With many of our client’s work having up to a .0004 tolerance, we can detail the most intricate of designs.


Security

All customer prints and part histories are kept in lockable fire proof file cabinets. All company computers and the server are backed up nightly. Our employees and suppliers are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect our customers proprietary information. The entire exterior of our manufacturing facility is monitored by closed circuit cameras viewable on and off site.
