What is
a Machine Shop?
Machine shops are manufacturing companies that are primarily engaged in machining parts from a variety of materials on a per order or job basis. The volume of parts and the machining processes required from a machine shop may vary greatly from job to job. Working from raw materials (typically metals) or unfinished parts supplied by their customers, machine shops perform various machining operations and then deliver the machined parts for further processing or for assembly into an end product.
Due to the disparate nature of their work, machine shops typically own and operate a variety of manufacturing equipment. The equipment or machine tools deployed by machine shops vary by the type of operation they are required to perform, the size of the parts they must process, and the precision of the machining operations. Machine shops utilize mills, lathes, drills, presses and grinders among other machines to cut or form metal into precise shapes and dimensions.
