Dallas, Texas
CNC Service for Dallas Manufacturers
Our Waterloo, IA facility sits 869 miles north of Dallas — about 14 hours one-way — a long-haul route on the road, a long-haul route from Waterloo — most 869-mile work runs ship-in via freight, with field service for major jobs by arrangement. We work with Dallas shops doing supply-chain machining for defense and financial services, plus in-house tooling work for Ford (East Dallas plant) and North American Aviation (legacy). 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.

Manufacturing in Dallas
During WWII Dallas was a major military vehicle and aircraft manufacturing center; Ford produced 94,000+ jeeps and 6,000 military trucks; North American Aviation produced 18,000+ aircraft. Modern industrial base retains defense and aerospace presence.
Notable Dallas employers include Ford (East Dallas plant), North American Aviation (legacy), DFW International Airport, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase. We don't claim these names as customers — we service the CNC shops doing precision work for them, the supply-chain machining and in-house tooling that keeps Dallas's industrial base producing.
