The Skilled Hands Behind the Hard Parts.
Some parts do not need a program — they need an experienced machinist. Machine Tech’s manual lathes and mills handle one-off work, repairs, modifications and oversized components.
Manual machining is where decades of craftsmanship show. For a single part, a repair or a modification, a skilled machinist is often faster and more practical than programming a run.
It is also how we tackle unusual and oversized work that does not fit a standard setup.
Manual and CNC capability together let us match the process to the part.

When is manual machining better than CNC?
- Manual machining is usually the better choice for a single part, a repair, a modification to an existing component, or oversized work that does not fit a standard CNC setup. For those jobs an experienced machinist is often faster than programming and proving out a CNC run.
Can you repair or modify an existing part?
- Yes. Machine Tech Services regularly repairs, remanufactures and modifies existing components, including worn or damaged parts. Bring us the part and tell us what it needs to do.
