Our machine shop equipment
The CNC mills, lathes and grinders on our floor in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with the specs engineers and buyers actually need.
CNC milling
Our vertical machining centers handle the bulk of our mill work. A handful of smaller mills handle second operations, so the big machines stay on the jobs that need them. More about CNC milling.
| Haas VF-3SS | Vertical machining center with 4th-axis rotary X 40″ (1016 mm) · Y 20″ (508 mm) · Z 25″ (635 mm) Frequently holds ±.0005″ and repeats |
|---|---|
| Hurco VMX24 | Vertical machining center X 24″ · Y 20″ · Z 24″ ±.001″ on tight work |
| Trak DPM | CNC bed mill for second operations, prototypes and one-offs |
| E-Mill EVS-3VS | Manual knee mill for second operations and quick modifications |
CNC turning
Both of our larger lathes run sub-spindles and live tooling, so turned parts with cross holes, flats and off-center features come off finished on both ends. More about CNC turning.

|---|---|
| Kia SKT21LMS | Sub-spindle & live tooling Spindle bore 2.56″ (65 mm) · max turning length 20.47″ (530 mm) Chuck setup available for larger single-op parts |
| Haas SL-10T | CNC lathe for second operations and simpler turned parts |
| Acer Dynamic 1760G | Manual engine lathe for larger one-offs, repairs and quick turnarounds |
| Tolerances | ±.001″ all day; frequently ±.0005″ or better depending on part size and rigidity |
Precision grinding
Surface grinders set up specifically for surface and form work, run by a grinding specialist with more than 30 years in the trade. More about precision grinding.
