Aerospace & defense protection, next door to Plant 42
Rough Cut has supported aerospace work in the Antelope Valley since 1978. We started with golf cart seats for Northrop and grew into FOD plugs, work pads, and surface protection for today's aircraft. We're an approved Northrop Grumman supplier, we also supply Lockheed Martin and NASA, and we're registered in SAM.gov (CAGE 4PDJ1) and set up for standard RFQ/PO purchasing. We also make CNC-cut tool-control foam and 3D-printed ABS fixture clamps for assembly lines and MRO hangars.
