Are you an experienced CNC Machinist who enjoys challenging setups, complex parts, and figuring out how to get the job done right?

Prime Machine wants to talk to you!

We're a custom machining job shop specializing in everything from large industrial components to small, high-precision parts for aerospace, defense, mining, energy, and heavy industry.

No endless production runs. No making the same part all day. Just real machining that puts your skills to work.
