Precision Machined Parts

 

Instant access to a collective of trusted American machine shops.

Quality is Everything

We work exclusively with American machine shops that have proven they can deliver quality parts, in spec, on time, and without excuses. We require a zero defect rate on every single part we ship. Quality is King.

How it works:

1) Submit your part and drawings

2) We’ll send you a quote, and a link where you can securly pay

3) Once you pay, we’ll select the best shop for your parts

4) After the shop makes your parts, they will ship them directly to you

 

Our Guarantee:

If something goes off track, we fix it. Whether that means working with the shop, re-sourcing the part, or even covering it ourselves—we stand behind every job.

Capabilities:

  • Multi-axis CNC milling

  • CNC turning with live tooling

  • Wire & sinker EDM

  • Precision grinding

  • Mechanical Finishing
  • Coating

 

Need something else? We probably have a shop that does that too.

Every job stays inside the U.S., which means faster turnaround, less shipping risk, and money flowing back into American communities.

FAQ:

Are there any materials you don’t work with?

We don’t work with anything that is inherently dangerous, such as lead, reactive metals, or radioactive metals.

How tight of tolerances can you hit?

We handle work on a case-by-case basis. We can probably do it, but if we can’t, we’ll tell you upfront before accepting the job.

Can I talk to the shop making the parts?

Absolutely! We don’t hide the shops from you like some of the other shop networks.

Do you offer injection molding, 3D printing, or laser cutting?

We specialize in chip-removal subtractive manufacturing. As we grow we may add more capabilities, but we would rather focus on what we are best at.

Will all of my parts be made by the same shop?

Not necessarily. Our biggest strength is that we have a variety of niche vendors. If your order has turned and milled parts, we may send the turned parts to one shop that is an expert at turning, and the milled parts to a shop that is an expert at milling. Additionally we sometimes break up large orders to reduce lead times.

Can I become a Subtract Vendor?

Maybe! At the moment we have a rather long waitlist, and only add more shops when our network is at full capacity. If you are interested in becoming a vendor, start here

Small Shops. Big Results.

Your parts are made by skilled people who care about every detail. That means fewer mistakes, quicker responses, and better quality.
