Custom CNC Machining for Industrial Parts
For Industrial Parts Built to Your Specifications
When industrial equipment depends on a part being right, a generic catalog component will not do. Lindsay Machine Works delivers custom CNC machining for industrial parts that have to fit, perform, and last under real working conditions. From a single prototype to a steady production release, our Kansas City precision machine shop builds the components your equipment was designed around, in the materials it was specified for, and to the tolerances your engineering team needs.
For more than 30 years, OEMs, contract buyers, and maintenance teams have brought their toughest prints to our floor. With more than 80 machines in a 35,000 square foot facility, we have the capacity to take on complex industrial work without subbing it out or pushing your delivery date.
What Custom CNC Machining for Industrial Parts Means
Custom CNC machining is the process of using computer-controlled mills, lathes, and multi-axis machining centers to cut metal and engineering plastics into finished parts that match a specific design. The “custom” part means the components are built to your drawings, your materials, and your quality requirements rather than pulled from a stock catalog.
For industrial work, that distinction matters. Industrial parts often face heavy loads, high temperatures, vibration, and long service lives. They have to be sized, finished, and inspected to behave the same way every time. CNC machining is what makes that consistency possible.
We build custom CNC machined industrial parts for:
- Equipment operators needing custom replacement parts
- Maintenance teams are replacing critical components on production equipment
- Engineering teams are outsourcing complex parts that fall outside in-house capacity
- Buyers consolidating multi-process work into a single, capable shop
Our team supports the entire production lifecycle, from your first prototype to consistent, high-volume supply.
Why Industrial Buyers Choose Lindsay
A custom CNC machining partner has to do more than run a program. The shop has to read prints accurately, fixture parts correctly, hold tolerances under pressure, and communicate clearly when something needs to change. Here is how we approach that work.
Multi-axis capability for complex geometry
Industrial parts rarely have simple geometry. Pockets, undercuts, bosses, and angled features all add complexity that a 3-axis machine cannot handle in a single setup. Our 5-axis and 4-axis CNC mills, plus 5-axis turning centers with live tooling and a sub spindle, let us produce complex parts in fewer setups. Fewer setups mean tighter tolerances and shorter lead times, both of which matter for industrial work.
Sized for big work
Many shops cap out at small or mid-size envelopes. We do not. Vertical milling capacity goes up to 32 inches by 120 inches. CNC turning supports work up to 26 inches OD by 80 inches long. Manual engine lathes handle up to 39 inches OD by 240 inches long, and our vertical turning lathe runs up to 57 inches OD. If your industrial part is large, heavy, or has a long bore, we have a machine sized for it.
Materials that match the application
Industrial parts depend on the right material as much as the right dimensions. We work in carbon, alloy, and tool steels, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, titanium, and engineering plastics. Material can be supplied by you or sourced through us with full traceability.
CNC Capabilities Behind Every Industrial Part
Custom industrial parts are rarely a single-process job. Most touch several machines on the way to a finished component. Our CNC capabilities cover the full range:
5-axis CNC milling Vertical milling centers up to 32 inches by 120 inches. Ideal for complex housings, brackets, manifolds, and parts with angled or undercut features.
4-axis CNC milling Open and enclosed vertical mills with rotary capability for multi-side parts and fixtures.
5-axis CNC turning Live tooling and sub spindle, up to 26 inches OD by 80 inches long, for one-setup turned and milled parts.
Manual machining for large work Bridgeport-type mills, a radial drill, and a horizontal boring mill with CNC retrofit. Engine lathes up to 39 inches OD and 240 inches long, and a vertical turning lathe up to 57 inches OD.
Grinding Surface grinding up to 17 by 24 inches, plus ID and OD grinding for high-precision finishes on shafts, sleeves, and rollers.
Specialty operations Gundrilling up to 1 inch OD by 40 inches deep for hydraulic bodies, manifolds, and long bored parts. CNC press brake forming, plate rolling, fiber laser, waterjet, and CNC plasma cutting are also available in-house when machined parts need to be combined with fabricated assemblies.
Industries We Build Industrial Parts For
CNC machined industrial parts touch nearly every sector of heavy industry. Our customer mix reflects that. We regularly produce industrial CNC work for:
