CNC milling, turning, fabrication, and much more — send the drawing, and the date we give you is the date your parts ship.

Three-, four-, and five-axis machining in aluminum, steel, stainless, and engineering plastics.
→
Round work to 12-inch diameter — shafts, bushings, pins, and spacers, held to the print.
→
MIG and TIG welding — frames, brackets, and assemblies, built square and inspected as one unit.
→
CMM checks on every lot, with a written report packed in the box with your parts.
→
The first physical version of a design — machined, measured, and reported so your team can sign off.
→
The holding, checking, and assembly fixtures that make other people's production repeatable.
→
The part that broke and stopped the line — remade from the broken piece or the print, and documented.
→Manufacturers across the Carolinas send us the work that has to be right — a drawing, a date, and a part that can't be wrong.

Corrosion resistance — washdown, outdoor, and weather service
→
Strength and wear resistance for shafts, pins, and hard work
→
Hardness for gears, wear parts, and structural brackets
→
Engineering plastic — bushings, guides, and wear pads
→
Engineering plastic — rollers, insulators, and wear parts
→No instant pricing is offered or implied. Send the drawing — a person reads it, prices it, and puts the ship date in writing.

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:
A small shop. The owners are on the floor — and these are the standards your job is held to.
Owner · Founded the shop in 2011
Twenty-six years in machining. Peg founded Catawba in 2011 and still runs first articles herself before a new job goes to the floor.
Shop Lead · Floor & Schedule
Ray runs the floor and the schedule. If Ray gives you a date, the shop has already planned around it.
Machinist · Inspection
Five-axis milling and final inspection — the last set of eyes on every tight-tolerance job before it ships.
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.
±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.
First piece, in-run checks, and a final CMM pass. The written report travels with the parts.
The ship date goes on the quote. If anything threatens it, you hear from us that same day.
The person who quotes your job follows it through the shop. One call, one straight answer.
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.
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.
±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.
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.
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.
Send 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, delivered on the date promised.
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.
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.

Production shops across the Carolinas send us work when their own schedule is full. If it's our kind of work, we'll quote it in writing — same as everything else here.
