Real Machinist Craftsmanship.
No Middlemen. No Guesswork.

When you send a drawing or CAD model to SilverFox Manufacturing, you talk directly with the owners. Jason brings 30+ years of aerospace and medical machining experience to every setup on our Japanese FANUC RoboDrill α-D14MiB Plus, paired with engineering-grade 3D printing on our Bambu Lab X1-Carbon and Snapmaker J1s IDEX.

From high-precision aluminum milled parts to rapid carbon-fiber functional prototypes and custom tooling, we deliver parts that fit to print the first time.

When You Work With Us, You Deal Directly With the Makers

Most machine shops today are owned by private equity firms or run through online broker platforms where you never know who is actually cutting your metal.

SilverFox Manufacturing is different. We are Jessica and Jason McClure, and this shop is our life's work right here in Crestview, Florida.

Jason has spent over 30 years on the machine shop floor, specializing in aerospace flight hardware and precision medical devices. He cut his teeth on manual mills and lathes, mastered multi-axis CNC programming, and built a reputation for solving tough machining challenges that other shops turn down—deep pockets, thin walls, tight bore tolerances, and difficult alloys.

Jessica leads our front office, scheduling, and customer communication. When you need an update on your order or have a deadline change, you get a straight, honest answer directly from us.

  • Direct Machinist Collaboration: Jason reviews every print for manufacturability (DFM) to save you setup time and money.
  • Supporting Local Creators: When you hire SilverFox, you are supporting an independent, American family-owned manufacturing business.
  • 100% Quality Pride: Every single part is deburred, cleaned, and checked by hand with calibrated inspection tools before it leaves our shop.

  • Spindle Interface: BBT30 Big Plus (Dual Contact)
  • Repeatability: ±0.00008" (0.002 mm)
  • Tool Change Time: 1.4 seconds chip-to-chip
Carbon-Fiber Additive

Bambu Lab X1-Carbon

High-temperature CoreXY additive platform equipped with a hardened steel nozzle and 300°C hotend. Dedicated to engineering polymers, carbon-fiber composites (PA-CF, PET-CF), and polycarbonate for rapid functional testing and custom shop soft jaws.

  • Build Envelope: 256 x 256 x 256 mm
  • Materials: PA-CF, PET-CF, PC, ABS, TPU
  • Speed: Up to 500 mm/s
  • Purpose: Rapid Fit-Checks & Soft Jaws
Independent Dual Extrusion

Snapmaker J1s IDEX 3D

High-speed independent dual extrusion 3D printer. Capable of printing intricate internal geometries using water-soluble PVA support material, as well as simultaneous mirror and duplicate batch printing of production plastic parts.

  • Build Envelope: 300 x 200 x 200 mm
  • Extrusion Mode: Independent Dual Extruder (IDEX)
  • Support Geometry: Soluble PVA / Breakaway Support
  • Production Mode: Mirror & Duplicate Batch Printing
Optical 3D Scanning

Revopoint 3D Optical Scanner

High-resolution optical 3D scanner for non-contact surface capture. Used for reverse engineering legacy or worn components without original drawings, and verifying complex curved contours against CAD models.

  • Resolution: Up to 0.02 mm point distance
  • Application: Reverse Engineering & CAD Compare
  • Output Data: Clean Mesh (STL / OBJ / STEP)
  • Inspection: Deviation Surface Heatmaps
In-Spindle Metrology

Renishaw Touch Probing

Kinematic touch-trigger probe system mounted in the RoboDrill spindle. Automates work coordinate setting (WCS), in-process bore and boss centering, and real-time tool breakage detection before critical finishing passes.

  • Probing System: Renishaw Precision Touch-Trigger
  • Function: Automated Workpiece & Tool Setup
  • Spindle Protection: In-Cycle Tool Breakage Detection
  • Accuracy: Sub-micron touch repeatability
Hands-On Inspection

Calibrated Manual Metrology

Every part is checked by hand before leaving our facility. Our temperature-stable inspection station includes certified Grade-A granite surface plates, Mitutoyo digital micrometers (0–6"), bore gages, and precision Class-X gage pins.

  • Surface Reference: Certified Grade-A Granite Plate
  • Micrometers: Mitutoyo Digimatic (0–6" range)
  • Bore & Pin Gages: Class-X Minus Certified Pin Sets
  • Policy: 100% Dimensional Verification

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers about working with our family-run CNC machine shop in Crestview, Florida.

Email your files directly to Info@silverfoxmfg.com. For CNC milling and 3D printing, we prefer 3D CAD models in STEP (.step, .stp), IGES (.igs), or native SolidWorks (.sldprt) format. If you have critical tolerances, threads, or special finish callouts, please also include a 2D PDF drawing. Jason personally reviews every print and responds within 24 hours.
Our standard turnaround is 1 to 3 weeks for most CNC milling jobs, depending on material availability and current spindle loading. Rapid 3D printed functional prototypes (Bambu X1-Carbon / Snapmaker J1s) can often ship in 2 to 5 business days. If you have an urgent deadline, tell us up front—we will be honest about whether we can meet your schedule.
No. Because we are an independent, agile shop, we routinely machine single one-off prototypes, replacement parts, and custom test fixtures, as well as production runs of 10 to 500+ parts. You get the same care and attention whether you order 1 piece or 500.
Absolutely. With over 30 years of machining experience, Jason provides practical Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback. If there is a simpler corner radius to machine, a standard cutter size that avoids custom tooling, or an orientation that cuts cycle time, we will point it out so you save time and money.
Online manufacturing portals act as middlemen—they take a steep markup, farm your parts out to the lowest bidder, and communicate through ticketing systems. When you partner with SilverFox Manufacturing, you are supporting a local American creator family. You speak directly to the machinist who sets up your fixtures, programs the toolpaths, and inspects the finished hardware.
