Precision Sheet Metal Bending Machinist

Imagine walking into a bustling commercial kitchen and knowing the stainless counters, panels, and fixtures were formed by your hands. At J&K Commercial Construction, that’s the reality. We build custom stainless-steel solutions for restaurants, hospitals, schools, casinos, correctional facilities, and commercial foodservice operations across the Pacific Northwest.

You take a set of fabrication drawings, map out bend sequences, select tooling, and program a CNC press brake for a short-run order. You verify bend allowances, measure twice, form once, and deliver parts that meet spec the first time. You’re the partner welders and fabricators rely on to keep high-mix, low-volume projects moving.
