WHAT WE DO

Machining.
And the thinking behind it.

We pride ourselves on very few “no-quotes.” If it can be cut, we want to find a way to make it. Difficult parts, unusual materials, and oversized setups are the work we welcome. Send the drawing so we can review the approach.

CNC turning

Turning, boring, threading, grooving, drilling, and off-center work. Custom thread profiles and tight-tolerance components.

02

CNC milling

Call about an urgent job

ONGOING CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

A shop your team
can call on.

We welcome open, ongoing relationships with buyers and maintenance departments built on direct communication and an understanding of your work.

Keep repairs moving

When equipment is down, the repair cannot always wait for the quoting process. Through an established working relationship, we can agree on authorization and budget expectations so urgent repair work can begin while quoting is underway.

Work within your budget

We work directly with buyers and maintenance teams to understand budgets, priorities, and purchasing requirements, and agree on a practical approach for each job.

Know your requirements

From one emergency replacement to recurring maintenance work, we coordinate around your work requirements, inspection needs, and turnaround expectations. Keep us in the conversation so we can plan with your team.

KEEP YOUR PRODUCT IN THE U.S.

Your price point.
A domestic path.

Considering overseas manufacturing to meet a price point? Talk with us first.

We consult on how to keep your product manufactured in the United States while working toward your target price. We can review the design, material choices, setups, and required processes to find a practical manufacturing approach.

Our goal is to help you meet your cost targets while avoiding the lead-time, quality, and material-consistency issues that can come with overseas sourcing.
