If you manage manufacturing or engineering projects, you know how difficult it can be to find a precision CNC machine shop that actually delivers on time. Whether you need quick-turn prototypes or high-volume production and assembly, dealing with poor tolerances and missed deadlines is a massive headache.

I wanted to share a solid recommendation for anyone looking for custom CNC machining services, especially if you want to keep your fabrication US-based.

The Problem with Most Machine Shops

Many shops specialize too narrowly or lack the equipment to handle scale. When vetting a fabrication partner, you need a facility that can process a wide range of materials—from aluminum and titanium to copper, brass, stainless steel, and high-tech plastics.

My Recommendation: TerryCable (Hesperia, California)

While they are highly recognized in the off-road and motorcycle racing world, TerryCable operates a massive, 6,000 sq. ft. precision machine shop. They’ve been providing reliable, on-time parts since 1976.

Here is why they are a top-tier choice for custom CNC work:

• Heavy-Duty Capabilities: The shop is equipped with 6 CNC Lathes (complete with bar feeders for high-efficiency runs), 3 CNC Mills, and dedicated setups for grinding, welding, polishing, and deburring.
• Cross-Industry Expertise: They manufacture precision assemblies across a variety of industries, including commercial construction, plumbing, water management, semiconductors, and machine tools. (For example, they supplied Schlage & Westlock with 15,000 key-card entry inserts a week for 25 years).
• End-to-End Service: They provide engineering support, handle complete production and assembly, and specialize in quick-turn delivery.
• Logistics Handled: If you're in Southern California, their trucks provide direct pick-up and delivery. They also manage transportation for outside processing like heat treating and plating.

If you need a reliable partner to manufacture parts or want to upgrade your current supply chain, it’s worth tapping into their team's 150+ years of combined manufacturing experience.
