Our state-of-the-art facility located in Ovid, Michigan, is equipped with multi-axis machining centers, advanced mills and lathes, and specialized finishing equipment. Whether you need custom CNC milling, precision turning, or complete assemblies, RTC is your trusted partner for complex and critical components.

5-Axis CNC Machining Services

For complex geometries and tight tolerances, our 5-axis CNC machining services provide unmatched flexibility and accuracy. With the ability to machine parts from multiple angles in a single setup, we reduce cycle times, improve surface finishes, and maintain consistent quality for our customers.

This capability allows us to work with a wide range of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, and other exotic metals. Our team excels at challenging projects where advanced engineering and innovative problem-solving are essential.

Custom CNC Milling & Turning

With a focus on custom CNC milling and turning, RTC offers solutions specifically designed for the defense, automotive, medical, and aerospace sectors, among others. Our machines are capable of producing highly complex features while holding extremely tight tolerances.

From precision slots and contours to intricate surface profiles, our milling and turning processes ensure your parts are manufactured exactly to spec. For high-volume production, we implement efficient workflows to reduce lead times without sacrificing quality.

Precision Grinding & Boring

In addition to machining, we offer precision grinding for both flat and cylindrical surfaces, ensuring your components meet exact dimensional and surface finish requirements. This process is ideal for applications where accuracy and repeatability are non-negotiable.

We also provide advanced boring services for components requiring precise hole dimensions and alignment. Our attention to detail in both grinding and boring ensures parts are ready for immediate assembly or integration into your systems.

Advanced Technical Integration

At RTC, our machining capabilities are strengthened by industry-leading software and technical expertise. We leverage:
• AutoCAD for precise dimensional interpretation
• KeyCreator for detailed geometric visualization
• MasterCAM for optimized CNC programming and toolpath creation

These tools enable us to confidently work from customer-provided drawings, models, or samples—ensuring accurate recreation of existing part geometry, exceptional consistency, and reliable performance on every job.
While RTC does not perform design or design-development services, our technical workflow ensures smooth data translation, reduced lead times, and high-quality results from start to finish.
