CNC machining
CNC machines cut parts from solid billet: profiles, pockets, bores and faces milled from bar and plate stock.
Machine & fabrication shop · Poughkeepsie, New York
Technical Precision machines and fabricates parts for boats: hardware, brackets, plates, fittings and one-off replacements. CNC machines, punching, press brake bending, welding and wide-belt sanding are all in the shop, and powder coating is done in the same building.
Boats come first here, but the shop also makes parts for cars, aircraft, brewery equipment, scientific instruments and just about anything else made of metal.
Sheet 02 · Marine work
Salt water, vibration and sun are hard on hardware. When a bracket cracks, a cleat pulls loose or a part simply isn't made anymore, Technical Precision can machine a new one from solid stock, form and weld it from plate, and finish it with powder coat without it leaving the building.

Sheet 04 · Capabilities
Every step from raw stock to a coated part happens under one roof, so a job doesn't bounce between vendors.
CNC machines cut parts from solid billet: profiles, pockets, bores and faces milled from bar and plate stock.
Drilled, counterbored, countersunk and tapped holes, from a single mounting hole to a full grid of threaded holes.
Punching machines put holes, slots and cutouts in sheet metal quickly and repeatably, ready for bending.
Press brake bending turns flat, punched blanks into brackets, channels, angles and enclosures.
Welded brackets, frames and assemblies, with gussets, tabs and fittings joined right in the shop.
A wide-belt sander takes flat parts to a clean, even surface with a straight, uniform grain, and knocks down burrs.
A powder coater in the same building finishes parts in a durable coat, so machined and fabricated parts come back finished from one stop.
Sheet 05 · Routing
Every job gets a routing: the list of operations it goes through. Pick the steps your part needs, or start from a preset, then send the routing with your quote request.
| Op | Operation | Description | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 010 | Review | Send a drawing, sketch or sample part. Material, quantity and finish are confirmed before work starts. | Always |
| 030 | CNC machine | Billet parts milled from bar or plate on the shop's CNC machines. | |
| 040 | Drill & tap | Holes drilled, counterbored, countersunk and threaded. | |
| 050 | Punch | Holes, slots and cutouts punched in flat sheet. | |
| 060 | Bend | Flanges, angles and channels formed on the press brake. | |
| 070 | Weld | Gussets, tabs, frames and fittings welded together. | |
| 080 | Sand & grain | Flat parts run through the wide-belt sander for an even finish. | |
| 090 | Powder coat | Coated in the same building. No trucking parts across town. | |
| 100 | Final check | Parts checked against your drawing and packed up. | Always |
