Wagner Machine Company

Wagner Machine Company We are a precision CNC machine shop producing a wide variety of parts using conventional and unconve In 1986 we purchased our first CNC mill and lathe.

We are a precision machine shop located in central Illinois. Our company was started on April 1 (no joke), 1982 by Werner and Elaine Wagner. They had, and still have a simple philosophy – run a lean business that makes high quality parts at a reasonable price. We have grown steadily for 30 years based on our reputation for doing just that. As part of that philosophy, we have never relied on advert

ising or salesmen. Instead, we invest in our company and our employees wisely, while letting our work speak for itself. We take pride in offering a wide variety of machining processes in house. Now we have more than 10 CNC mills and 15 CNC lathes, as well as surface, cylindrical, and centerless grinding capabilities. In addition to conventional machining, we also offer full 4 axis wire EDM, abrasive waterjet with taper compensation and full 5 axis Milling. We have experience machining an extensive list of materials from plastics, aluminum and steel, to stainless steel, exotic alloys, custom engineered materials, and fully hardened tool steels. We couple this experience with an equally wide variety of CAD/CAM software which is used by knowledgeable machinists who are always up for a challenge.

Our Wire EDM expertise goes beyond the basics. We’ve cut a wide range of complex parts from materials including steel, copper, and aluminum, each with precision and efficiency.

By cutting blanks with EDM, we streamline downstream operations and significantly reduce machining time. In fact, aluminum and copper cut up to 3–5x faster than steel, making EDM a smart choice for complex geometries and high-precision components.

Fifteen years of machining later, and the 5-axis Hurco we bought in 2010 is still holding incredible precision. After replacing the spindle and running full calibration, the trunnion and centerline calculations came out within two ten-thousandths of an inch (.0002").

That’s the power of proactive, in-house maintenance: keeping equipment running at peak performance year after year.

Bringing production closer to home offers more than just peace of mind.

For teams managing complex machined parts or fast-moving product lines, reshoring means:

✔️ Greater agility and flexibility
✔️ Transparent quality and traceability
✔️ Real-time communication and accountability
✔️ Reduced Inventory

The result? Faster feedback loops, better quality control, and clearer communication—all without sacrificing cost.

We machined and assembled this steel and bronze production tool for the automotive industry with extreme precision.

Each piece required multiple turning and milling operations and was held to incredibly tight tolerances. Notice the thin walls and the flawless transition between materials. No hand finishing, and the taper blend is less than .0005" between parts.

The supply chain chaos of 2021 made it clear: the real cost of offshore production goes far beyond what’s printed on a PO. Long lead times, communication breakdowns, and basic quality issues can quickly consume time and money. And now, with tariffs at the forefront, reshoring manufacturing is gaining even more traction.

At Wagner Machine Company, we’re seeing firsthand more customers asking whether to bring high-volume production back to the U.S. Our opinion? Bringing CNC precision machining work closer to home just makes sense.
