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.

We know that finding the right machining partner for defense applications is not always easy. Some companies are dealing with parts that are too specialized for most shops to quote with confidence, while others have a vendor who can make the prototype parts but cannot maintain consistent quality once production volume ramps up. In some cases, the project is still early and the real challenge is bridging the gap between a working prototype and a repeatable, production-ready process.

Whatever the situation looks like, those are the kinds of problems we want to help solve. Wagner Machine is built for the work that other shops tend to pass on, whether that means detailed geometries, demanding finishing requirements, tight tolerances on select features, or a need for exceptional consistency across every part in a production run.

Small, complex turned parts can be challenging to machine without the right equipment. We used a CNC Swiss machine with live tooling to manufacture these small, complex parts. This saved time and improved quality and part consistency.

Prints shouldn’t leave room for interpretation, and that’s how we approach them at Wagner Machine. Our precision machine shop treats your prints with the same seriousness as a legal document. With that in mind, every dimension matters, all GD&T callouts get reviewed, and if something looks ambiguous, we’re going to ask about it.

Some customers find this refreshing. Others wonder if we know what we’re doing. But those questions are what separate us from shops that assume “close enough” will work. Getting this level of clarity upfront is how we guarantee your parts perform exactly as designed.

Our customers demand precision, and we deliver.

To meet requests for 100% inspection on critical, tight-tolerance features, we’ve invested in advanced inspection technology. We're even exploring solutions like CT scanning to ensure every part meets exacting standards.

Being comfortable with manufacturing these types of parts is one thing, but having the infrastructure behind the scenes to support it is something else entirely. We’ve been an ITAR-registered machine shop for years and are on track for CMMC Level 2 certification, which reflects the kind of security readiness, process discipline, and data-handling controls associated with defense contracts.

Achieving this certification doesn’t mean reinventing the business from scratch, as we’d already been doing much of what this level of compliance requires. Instead, it was more about normalizing and reinforcing a long-established, structured way of operating.

Small, complex machined parts are our specialty. It's what our team and equipment are built for. Compared to a general CNC machine shop, you can expect faster cycle times, better part finish, improved consistency, and lower costs by working with a 5-axis machine shop or Swiss machine shop that’s optimized for small, complex parts.
