LONGMONT, Colo. - Oct. 9, 2026 - PRLog -- Advanced Precision Machining (APM) today announced the full integration and expansion of its complete precision grinding services, solidifying its position as a full-service CNC machine shop. This move directly addresses increasing customer demand for integrated, high-tolerance finishing and builds upon a period of significant growth and investment for the company. APM now offers an expanded suite of CNC precision grinding services including surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and centerless grinding capabilities, all under one roof, ensuring consistent quality and streamlined project workflows for its diverse client base.
This expansion comes as APM experiences its best year ever, driven by strong demand across aerospace, satellite, medical, oil & gas, automotive, and other specialized manufacturing sectors. To meet this heightened demand and reduce lead times, which have recently extended, APM has made substantial investments in its operational infrastructure. These include new CNC mills, a brand-new CNC lathe, and a bar loader for automation, alongside upgraded inspection technology. The enhanced grinding services complement these broader capacity improvements, allowing APM to deliver complex parts from prototyping through production with unmatched efficiency and accuracy.
"Our ongoing commitment is to our customers' success, which means continually refining our capabilities and investing in the best technology and talent," said Gerry Dillon, owner at Advanced Precision Machining. "Integrating a full spectrum of precision grinding services, supported by our advanced inspection systems and experienced team, enables us to provide even greater value. We're not just expanding; we're deepening our ability to meet the most stringent requirements for quality and turnaround."
Key aspects of APM's enhanced precision grinding services include:
- Diverse Grinding Techniques: APM offers centerless, double-disc, cylindrical, and surface grinding, allowing the company to match the precise method to part geometry, material, and tolerance requirements. This ensures optimal results for everything from long, thin shafts to flat plates and complex hole patterns.
- Advanced Equipment Range: The shop houses a variety of specialized machines, including belt grinders, bench grinders, cylindrical grinders, surface grinders, jig grinders, and gear grinders. This complete equipment ensures versatility for stock removal, deburring, finishing, and high-accuracy work on diverse components.
- Integrated Quality Assurance: All grinding services are backed by APM's ISO 9001 certification and ITAR registration, providing auditable quality documentation. Inspection is performed using two Keyence optical CMMs, verifying dimensions and generating detailed reports critical for aerospace, medical, and oil & gas customers.
- Full-Service Machining Workflow: By housing grinding alongside CNC milling, CNC turning, prototyping, design, and drafting, APM eliminates the need for customers to coordinate multiple vendors. This integrated approach simplifies procurement, reduces lead times, and ensures seamless project execution from start to finish.
