American Precision Engineering
Founded in 2013 by Blake Hales and Tyler Thomas, Cutting Edge CNC has grown from a relentless night-shift startup into a premier 15,000 square foot precision machine shop in Ogden, Utah. Located just miles from Hill Air Force Base and Salt Lake City International Airport, we deliver made-to-print machining with uncompromising quality, rapid prototyping, and high-volume production.
Our quality management infrastructure is engineered specifically for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability prime contractors who require full traceability, First Article Inspection (AS9102), and strict compliance.
High-efficiency CNC horizontal machining centers with twin pallet rotaries and 4th-axis indexing, paired with twin-spindle turning centers to eliminate secondary operations and cut lead times in half.
Complete dimensional validation up to 500 × 500 × 500mm via coordinate measuring machines, optical comparators, surface profilometers, and calibrated precision gauge libraries.
Engineered for Extremes
Our 15,000 sq. ft. Ogden facility houses state-of-the-art vertical mills, twin-pallet horizontal machining centers, and dual-spindle turning centers ready for complex aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive programs.
Continuous Production
Engineered for high-volume and lights-out machining without setup downtime. Equipped with twin pallet workholding systems, full 4th-axis rotary indexing, and Renishaw wireless probing to machine complex multi-sided aerospace castings and billet blocks in a single operation.
High Precision Mills
Heavy-duty vertical milling with work envelopes up to 20″ × 25″ × 50″. Featuring automated wireless probing, high-pressure through-spindle coolant, and rigid tapping for tight tolerance aerospace alloys.
Multi-Axis Turning
Twin spindles across all turning machines allow back-end machining and part transfer in-cycle. Live tooling enables cross-drilling, keyways, and complex milling up to 3.5″ through-spindle bar capacity.
AS9100 Metrology
Climate-controlled inspection department equipped with automated Coordinate Measuring Machines (500 × 500 × 500mm), optical comparators, surface profilometers, and full AS9102 First Article Inspection reports.
Turned & Milled
Complex components combining precision multi-lead threads, gear teeth, internal fluid bores, and milled wrench flats produced in single clamping cycles on our dual-spindle live tooling machines.
Certified Quality Management
Rigorous design-for-manufacturability review, Mastercam toolpath optimization, and simulation to eliminate chatter and maximize cycle efficiency.
Machined on twin-pallet HMCs or dual-spindle turning centers with wireless in-process Renishaw probing to catch variations in real-time.
Calibrated touch-probe CMM verification, optical comparator checks, surface roughness testing, and complete AS9102 First Article Inspection.
Complete Certificate of Conformance (CofC), raw material mill test reports (MTRs), secure packaging, and on-time shipment to your facility.

Key Industries & Prime Sectors Served
Client Confidence
Cutting Edge CNC is hands down our most reliable machining partner in Utah. Their twin-pallet horizontal machines handle our repeat aerospace brackets with zero rejected parts, and their AS9100 quality paperwork is always spotless.
Blake and Tyler run an exceptional shop. We brought them an intricate turned shaft requiring dual-spindle live tooling and strict tolerances of ±0.0005″. They delivered flawless parts ahead of schedule without a single hiccup.
After enduring months of supply-chain delays and poor quality from offshore suppliers, switching to Cutting Edge CNC was the best operational decision we made. Fast quoting, incredible customer service, and real pride in their work.
