Second shift added on the five axis cell
The UMC-500 is now running a second shift to free daytime capacity for first articles and short run work.
HESQUANDOR is an 18 person CNC machine shop in Seattle, Washington. We are a contract precision machining supplier to industrial customers across the Pacific Northwest, running prototype through production work that ships clean and on time.
Daniel Ferraro founded HESQUANDOR in the spring of 2019 after fifteen years running mills and managing production for a large industrial contract manufacturer. He opened the shop with one used VMC and a lathe in leased space in Seattle's Interbay industrial district.
Seven years on, we run six CNC machines across an 11,000 square foot floor in the Interbay corridor. Most of our growth came from existing customers handing us more part numbers, not from chasing every RFQ that lands in the inbox. We took in our first five axis cell in 2024 to win tighter tolerance bracket and housing work.
We are a small shop on purpose. The customers who fit us are in it for the long program, not the one off. We closed 2025 at $2.0 million in revenue, up from $185 thousand in our first partial year, and we have grown every year since founding.
Haas VMCs and a five axis cell for brackets, housings, manifolds and complex prismatic parts in aluminum, steel and stainless.
Live tooling lathes for shafts, hubs, fittings and turned parts to tight diameter and concentricity callouts.
First articles through repeat production runs. We hold fixtures and programs so the second order ships faster than the first.
Mitutoyo CMM, full first article inspection and PPAP documentation under our ISO 9001 quality system.
Managed plating, anodize, heat treat and passivation through qualified regional partners on a single purchase order.
Aluminum, alloy and stainless bar, plate and round stock sourced and certified with full traceability.
Typical work envelope runs to 500 mm in the five axis cell and 1,000 mm in the three axis VMCs. We quote tolerances to the print and will tell you plainly when a feature is better suited to another process.
Current revision drawings for parts we run for you are available on request. Approved customers can ask their account manager for the released PDF of any active part number from our engineering library.
Released drawings are controlled documents. The revision on file supersedes any earlier copy. We do not publish customer drawings on this site.
Email the part number and your purchase order reference and we will confirm the current revision the same business day.

HESQUANDOR is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. Every job runs against a control plan. Critical characteristics are inspected on our Mitutoyo CMM and recorded against the print revision on file.
We provide first article inspection reports, full material certifications and PPAP submission packages for production parts. Our 2025 on time delivery ran 99.2% with a customer reject rate under 400 PPM.
The UMC-500 is now running a second shift to free daytime capacity for first articles and short run work.
Both the ISO 9001 recertification and the ISO 14001 surveillance audit closed clean.
Inspection programming for the Crysta-Apex is now written in house, shortening first article turnaround.
Send a drawing and a quantity and we will turn a quote around in two business days. Production releases, prototypes and repeat work are all welcome.
