About Us
Precision in Every Part. Excellence in Every Result.
Since 1996, our Franklin Park, Illinois machine shop has built a reputation one part at a time. Founded in 1996, we started with a simple belief: precision matters. That belief still guides everything we do today. When manufacturers need parts that meet print every single time, they turn to shops with proven track records. Ours spans three decades and counting.
Our facility at 11201 Franklin Avenue houses a team of dedicated professionals. Engineers, programmers, machinists, and quality control specialists work together under one roof. We know what manufacturers need: accurate parts, on time, every time. No excuses. No shortcuts. Just consistent results that keep production lines running smoothly.

What We Bring to Your Projects
Working with a precision machine shop should be straightforward. We make it that way. From your first phone call to final shipment, our team focuses on clear communication and reliable execution. You should not need to chase down updates or wonder about your order status. We keep you informed throughout the process.
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification backs every part leaving our facility. This is not just a plaque on the wall. It represents documented processes, regular audits, and a quality management system that catches problems before they reach your receiving dock. The Supplier of the Year recognition we earned came from meeting commitments month after month, not from a single lucky delivery.

That 95% client retention rate tells the real story. Manufacturers come back year after year because we deliver what we promise.
Our Approach
We start by listening. Your specs, tolerances, and deadlines shape how we plan each job. Too many shops try to fit every project into their standard workflow. We take the opposite approach. Your requirements drive our process, not the other way around.
Our programming team reviews every detail before metal meets tooling. They look for potential issues, optimize cycle times, and select tooling that balances efficiency with quality. First article inspection happens before production begins.
- Programming team reviews every detail before metal meets tooling
- Quality control monitors output using Tesa optical scanners
- Brown and Sharpe CMM systems verify dimensional accuracy
- Optical comparators and precision gages check every batch
- Documentation and certifications provided as your quality system requires
This attention to detail is why clients keep coming back. We catch problems early when fixes cost minutes instead of days. Your production schedule depends on parts arriving right the first time.
CNC Machining Capabilities
Our equipment handles complex precision work across various materials and specifications. Whether your project calls for small diameter Swiss work or larger turned components, we have the machines and expertise to deliver.
- CNC Swiss machining for diameters from 0.125 inches to 1.25 inches
- Turning operations up to 2.5 inch diameter on Mori lathes with live tooling
- Tolerances held to 0.0005 inches on demanding projects
- Live tooling for milling, cross drilling, and off axis features
- Thread cutting for both standard and custom pitch requirements
- Work with steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, copper, and engineered plastics
The combination of Swiss style machining and conventional turning covers a wide range of applications. Most projects stay under one roof from start to finish, eliminating the coordination headaches that come with splitting work across multiple vendors.

Industries We Serve
Our parts end up in products across dozens of sectors. We supply components to the automotive industry, defense contractors, hydraulics manufacturers, and oil and gas operations. Lighting companies, temperature control systems, fitness equipment makers, and plumbing and water treatment suppliers all trust our work. Food processing equipment, fluid control systems, fastener production, and construction equipment round out our client base.
Each industry brings different demands. Automotive work requires statistical process control and capability studies. Defense contracts come with specific quality clauses and documentation requirements. Medical adjacent applications need full traceability from raw material to finished part. We adapt our quality systems to match your industry standards without charging for complexity you do not need.
Thirty years of serving diverse industries means we have seen most challenges before. Unusual materials, tight tolerances, demanding schedules, complex geometries. Bring us your toughest work.
