Hours of Operation:

The shop is generally open daily Monday through Friday from 8am to noon, and 1pm to 4:30pm. At certain times, those hours may differ or the shop may be closed.

In order to minimize interruptions, the shop staff requests visits to the shop occur between 10:30-11:30am and 2-3pm.

Services Available:

Bring a sketch of the part you want fabricated to the shop along with a completed work order form to which the work will be charged. A machinist will review the drawing with you and prepare an estimate of the cost and schedule for completing the work.
