Precision Machining
CNC and conventional machining for new components, replacement parts, prototypes, tooling, repair work, and difficult-to-source parts.
The job may start with a drawing or a worn part on the counter. Both show function, fit, and material.
New parts, replacement parts, and repair work
One-off and low-volume jobs can begin with a drawing, model, sample, damaged component, or complete assembly.
- Custom components
- Replacement parts
- Shafts, pins, bushings & sleeves
- Tooling & fixtures
- Prototype components
- Equipment parts
- Machined fabrications
- One-off & low-volume work

Choose the machine from the part
Turning
Shafts, pins, sleeves, bushings, threads, repair parts, and replacements. The setup may start with raw stock or the worn part that came off the machine.
Milling
Faces, pockets, slots, hole patterns, mounting features, contours, fixtures, and tooling. Milling may be the whole job or one step in a fabricated assembly.
CNC + conventional
CNC supports repeat work and complex geometry. Conventional machines handle repairs, one-offs, unusual setups, and modifications. We choose the machine from the part, quantity, and required result.
Active machining
Material coming off the part
A controlled cut on an actual component in the Barnes machine shop.
Milling
Cutting defined features
Faces, profiles, slots, holes, and other features taking shape.
When the part is not on the shelf
Sometimes the broken part is the best place to start
Replacement parts become obsolete, wear out, or take too long to arrive. The worn piece still shows its fit, function, and failure.
We can inspect the component and determine whether to repair it, machine a replacement, or modify another part. The surrounding assembly matters as much as the piece on the counter.
Connected shop processes
Machining may be one step in the job
A project may move through CAD, 3D scanning, machining, fabrication, welding, cutting and forming, 3D printing, or finishing. Keeping that work in one shop makes the connections between parts easier to manage.
One shop can carry the part through the next operationWhere machining fits

How we approach the work
Set up the job so problems are visible
3S, standard work, and job-defined checks help the machinist catch a problem before it travels to the next operation. Setup notes, inspection points, and handoffs matter alongside the machine itself.
How we work ↗- Organized work
- Documented processes
- Problems made visible
- Quality checked throughout the job
- Continuous improvement
