Machine shops are job shops that turn, mill, grind and EDM metal and plastic parts to a customer's drawing, usually in short and medium runs. Most are small, owner-run businesses serving OEMs in aerospace, medical, automotive, energy and industrial equipment. They buy CNC machines, cutting tools, workholding, bar stock, coolant and inspection equipment, and they win their own work by quoting RFQs. Selling to a machine shop means reaching the owner, shop manager or buyer directly, usually by email and phone, and following up quote by quote.
