Custom Shaft Machining & Manufacturing
New shafts machined to your exact tolerances, and repairs that return worn shafts to service.
Machined Shafts at a glance
Your exact tolerances
Premium shafts engineered to the tolerances you specify.
72 × 480 in
Published capacity of the Summit heavy-duty engine lathe.
16 × 126 in grinding
Cincinnati cylindrical grinder for finished journals.
Complex designs
Irregular and complex shaft designs, built and inspected in house.
CBM Precision Parts manufactures new shafts and repairs the shafts you already run. Machined shafts work under constant pressure, heat and load, and we build them to handle it, including irregular and complex designs, machined to print or reverse engineered from a worn part.
Shafts are turned on CNC lathes, INTEGREX mill-turn centers and heavy-duty engine lathes, including a Summit listed at 72 × 480 in, finished on a 16 × 126 in cylindrical grinder where required, and inspected by our quality department before they ship.
