From drawing to dock, on the date promised

The ship date goes on the quote before you approve it, and once it's on the order, the number doesn't move. The person who quotes your job follows it through the shop — so one call gets you a straight answer about where your parts stand.

How the date holds:

  • On the quote: the price, the lead time, and the ship date — in writing, within two business days
  • In the shop: first piece checked, checks during the run, and a final CMM pass before the box is taped
  • If anything threatens it: you hear from us that same day — not on the morning the parts were due

The people who run the machines

A small shop. The owners are on the floor — and these are the standards your job is held to.

Peg Callahan

Owner · Founded the shop in 2011

First Articles

Twenty-six years in machining. Peg founded Catawba in 2011 and still runs first articles herself before a new job goes to the floor.

The Schedule

Ray runs the floor and the schedule. If Ray gives you a date, the shop has already planned around it.

Final Inspection

Five-axis milling and final inspection — the last set of eyes on every tight-tolerance job before it ships.

Finished machined components Turned steel parts Workholding fixture

We're more than milling and turning

A wrong part costs you a production day. It costs us a customer. So the checking is built into every job — not added when somebody asks.

Tolerances Held

±0.005″ is standard work here; ±0.0005″ when the print calls for it. If we can't hold it, we tell you before we start.

Inspection on Every Lot

First piece, in-run checks, and a final CMM pass. The written report travels with the parts.

Dates in Writing

The ship date goes on the quote. If anything threatens it, you hear from us that same day.

One Point of Contact

The person who quotes your job follows it through the shop. One call, one straight answer.

Frequently asked questions

+How do I get a Formal Quote from Catawba?

Email the print or the CAD file, or call and talk it through first. You'll get a firm quote in writing within two business days — price, lead time, and inspection included.

+What if I don't have a CAD file?

Send the print, a sketch, or the broken part itself. Replacement parts are remade from the broken piece or the print — and if something's missing, we'll tell you exactly what we need.

+What tolerances can you hold?

±0.005″ is standard work here; ±0.0005″ when the print calls for it. If we can't hold a dimension, we tell you before we start — never after.

+Do you take prototypes and short runs?

Yes — prototypes, short runs, and repeat production under one roof. First articles are machined, measured, and sent with the inspection report so your team can sign off and move.

+What inspection documentation do I get?

A written inspection report is packed with every shipment. Material certificates are available on request — ask when you order, and they're matched to the lot.

Request a Quote

Please note: every quote is prepared by a person — no instant pricing is offered or implied. Put the material and grade on the print: "aluminum" gets you a conversation; "6061-T6" gets you a firm number. We never swap material silently — a substitution is proposed in writing and approved by you before anything is cut.

Array of finished machined parts ready to ship

Keep your line running

Repeat orders are scheduled around your line — the repeat run that can't wait, the replacement part that stopped it, the weldment your current shop keeps pushing to the back of the line. Send it anyway: if it's not our work, we'll tell you up front and point you to a shop that does it.
