CNC Machining
Our CNC machining services utilize advanced 5-axis technology to produce complex parts with tight tolerances. We handle everything from prototypes to mid-size production runs, ensuring precision and efficiency for industries requiring high-quality components. Our capabilities include turning, milling, and surface grinding for metals and plastics.

We offer full-service custom metal fabrication, including cutting, bending, welding, and assembly. Our team works with steel, aluminum, and stainless steel to create tailored solutions for industrial applications. From prototypes to large-scale projects, we prioritize accuracy and durability.
Fiber Laser Cutting
Our fiber laser cutting services provide high-speed, precise cuts for metals like steel, aluminum, and copper. Ideal for intricate designs and thin-gauge materials, this technology ensures smooth edges and minimal waste while meeting tight tolerances for industrial needs.
Welding
We specialize in MIG, TIG, and stick welding for repair and fabrication projects. Our certified welders work with various metals, ensuring strong, durable joints for structural and mechanical applications across construction, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.

As others have stated, this shop was very easy to deal with on my project. I had an item that needed to be machined out of a piece of aluminum and they did a fantastic job with the verbal specs that I had given them. They also were very quick to get to my project and prompt on meeting the time frame they quoted me. Kudos to Doug and his staff for the ease, timing, and quality of the finished project. Will definitely use them (and refer to others) again for any other items I need machined.

Great place to get parts done fast and well. Anything from 1 piece to 1,000 this place will take on almost any job! I had the amazing opportunity to work for them a little under a year and a half, and they took me on knowing I had little experience, in the end I definitely needed more years under my belt because the people there are absolute pros, but I learned a lot with my time there! Id highly recommend anyone that has some years in the field of machining and a good grasp on setting up to apply, they take great care of their employees and it really has that family feel to it.

When we break our parts Lindsey Machine Works has been awesome when it comes to fixing them or making new parts and getting our operation back up and running with minimal delay. Their pricing is very fair for the excellent service they provide.

The best all around machine shop in KC. They can handle anything from a small repair to a one off build. The guys are fast and pay attention to the small details. Work is also done a fair price.

3 years ago I was a 45 year old single mother of a newborn when Mike Lindsay hired me and the entire staff welcomed me with open arms, I cant tell you how much that meant to me. All companies have their ups and downs and 2020 certainly was a test- but we, the Lindsay Machine Works Family, worked together to overcome all the obstacles and persevered. The owners, machinists and office staff are a great group of people and I am so happy to work here.
