CNC Service for Bloomington Manufacturers
Our Waterloo, IA facility sits 234 miles south of Bloomington — about 4 hours by truck on the road, within practical field-service reach of our shop — drivable for substantial jobs. We work with Bloomington shops doing supply-chain machining for retail/shopping centers and healthcare, plus in-house tooling work for Toro and Donaldson Company. Three lines of work for these shops: CNC machine repair, spindle rebuilds and grinding, and replacement way-cover manufacturing. We diagnose on-site where the work warrants it; the rebuild bench is in Waterloo.
