  • If your fundamentals are strong, we'll train you on large-format Cincinnati gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes.

Why Join Us

  • Hone your craft: Get trained up on large-format gantry machining that few shops can offer
  • High-impact work: Frames and structural components for high-stakes defense platforms
  • Financial impact: Guaranteed 45-hour weeks, additional overtime, night shift differential
