Looking for Job Shops in Texas

[Toolmaker246]

Good Morning Practical Machinist,

I am new to the forum but have been lurking for years now. I am at a small composite tooling shop in Fort Worth and we are in looking for new machine shops with 5 axis and turning capabilities to work with. We have two 5 axis CNCs in house for our composite parts but lack the ability and capacity to do our own metal work. Most of our product are tight tolerance and 1 off parts so no huge volume orders. Sizes of parts range from small aluminum (under 1'x1') to medium stainless/steel (4'x4'). Any suggestions are welcome. I am reaching out here because I would rather keep the jobs domestic and have better communication rather than a 3rd party site that just farms out the work.

Thanks for the help.
