    Seeking Small Run Machinists

    We produce small runs of various things from replicas to collectibles. We take our attention to detail and accuracy very seriously and expect the same from those who work with us (although it should be noted that we dont require 'scientific tolerances' in most cases).

    We need machinests who are, first and foremost, reliable.

    Many of our projects are ideally made CNC for the sake of repitition, however this is not always necessary. Our pieces range from the size of a quarter to a 18 inches.

    "Small" project runs can be as little as 2 or 3 and as many as 10-15... sometimes more..

    We work in aluminum, steel, bronze, plastics and wood. Often aluminum.

    Lastly, because we do small runs we are often overlooked by most machine shops OR we are expected to pay exhorbitant fees for a mere handful of pieces. As a result we have found Home Machinests who are seeking extra income are our best resource. If you arent looking to strike it rich, but make some modest extra money while tackling interesting projects --we would love to speak with you. As mentioned, reliability and dependability is paramount.


    When emailing, please list:

    -name

    -email

    -phone

    -location

    -your experience (years, tools, materials etc)

    -machine/tooling capability

    -blueprint making capacity (yes or no)

    -general schedule





    We look forward to speaking with you!

    more specifics

    We are a small mold shop and most the time we can do short run work. It depends how complex the parts are. We only have 3 axis vmcs.

    Lightbulb Send an email?

    I would send one, but to what address? You didn't post it.

    Please post the email so others can respond.

    I'm starting to think this is bogus. I sent you an e-mail, and posted here, and haven't heard anything back.
