The shop

15,000 square feet in Richmond Hill
Raw stock, machines and finished parts under one roof.
CNC, automatic and hand lathes
Specialized CNC lathes, a line of fully automatic Mattison lathes, and hand turners who still make each piece one by one.
Competitive pricing
We build our own tooling in-house, which keeps setup costs low and our prices competitive.
Any size of job
Neither too big nor too small: a subdivision of hardwood spindles, or a new prototype brought to life.
