PRECISION CNC MACHINE SHOP — EL CAJON, CA
SEND US THE JOBS NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO QUOTE
McIntyre Tool & Machine is a full-scope shop. Milling, turning, large-part work, tooling, welding, and assembly all happen under one roof in El Cajon — so the part that gets quoted is the part that gets shipped, and one shop owns it start to finish.
WHAT WE DO
SIX DISCIPLINES, ONE ROOF
Most shops send half your job down the street. We don't. Everything below happens here, which means fewer parts in transit, fewer people to chase, and one shop accountable for the finished piece.
PRECISION CNC MACHINING
Milling and turning on a mixed CNC fleet, from first articles through production runs. Tight-tolerance work on demanding material, verified before it leaves.
TOOLING & FIXTURES
Complete tooling packages and mechanical fixtures — designed, built, and checked at the interfaces so they drop into your line and work.
LARGE-PART MACHINING
A 36" × 62" horizontal boring mill table and a 42" lathe swing. When the part is too big for everyone else, it's the right size for us.
FABRICATION & WELDING
MIG and TIG welding and custom fabrication in-house, next door to the machines. Weldments get machined, machined parts get welded, nothing ships out to a third party in between.
ASSEMBLY & INTEGRATION
We deliver completed assemblies, not a box of loose parts. Critical interfaces get verified here so field integration isn't your problem to solve.
REPAIR & REVERSE ENGINEERING
Legacy component with no drawings? Bring us the part. We'll measure it, model it, and make it again.
LARGE-PART CAPACITY
WHEN THE PART IS TOO BIG FOR EVERYONE ELSE
Most CNC-only shops hit a wall on envelope and turn the job away. Our Giddings & Lewis 330T horizontal boring mill runs a 36" × 62" table for heavy structural components, and the LeBlond sliding gap bed lathe handles a 42" swing that standard turning centers can't take.
Giddings & Lewis 330T — 36" × 62" boring mill table
LeBlond sliding gap bed — 42" swing capacity
Milltronics MB30 — 60" X × 30" Y × 24" Z envelope
Heavy structural components and high-precision boring in massive envelopes
QUALITY
INSPECTION IS BUILT IN, NOT BOLTED ON
Quality isn't a last look before the truck shows up. Hold points live inside the process traveler, so problems surface while the part is still on the machine and fixable — not after it's on your dock.
Full material certs and inspection reports for Tier-1 requirements
Owner-level review on critical first-article setups
Spec-compliant crating and preservation for international and remote-site delivery
HOW IT WORKS
HOW A JOB RUNS HERE
No mystery, no runaround. Four steps from your print to your dock.
Step 1
SEND THE PRINT
Drawings, a model, or the physical part. Dustin reviews it himself and tells you straight whether we're the right shop for it.
Step 2
WE PLAN THE ROUTE
We map the whole job across our departments before a chip flies — machining, welding, assembly, inspection. You get one point of contact who owns all of it.
Step 3
WE MAKE IT
CNC where CNC wins, manual where it doesn't. Our mix of platforms means odd geometry and non-standard parts don't stall the job.
Step 4
WE VERIFY AND SHIP
Inspection, certs, paperwork, and packing built for the trip it's actually taking. It arrives ready to use.
THE FLOOR
A LOOK AT THE FLEET
A mix of platforms, on purpose. It's what lets us take complex geometry and odd sizes that a single-format shop has to pass on.

QUESTIONS
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
WHAT'S THE BIGGEST PART YOU CAN MACHINE?
Our Giddings & Lewis 330T horizontal boring mill runs a 36" × 62" table, and the LeBlond sliding gap bed lathe takes a 42" swing. If you're not sure whether your part fits, send the print — we'll tell you in a day.
DO YOU TAKE ONE-OFFS AND PROTOTYPES, OR PRODUCTION ONLY?
Both. Conversational CNC and manual expertise handle one-off and prototype work without a full production programming cycle, and the CNC fleet covers repeatable production runs. Same shop, same people.
WILL YOU QUOTE A JOB OTHER SHOPS HAVE TURNED DOWN?
That's most of what we do. Odd geometry, oversized envelopes, mixed processes, no drawings — send it over. If we're not the right shop we'll say so quickly instead of sitting on it.
DO YOU DO WELDING AND FABRICATION IN-HOUSE?
Yes. MIG and TIG welding and custom fabrication run in the same building as the machines, so weldments get machined and machined parts get welded without shipping to a third party in between.
CAN YOU DELIVER FINISHED ASSEMBLIES, NOT JUST PARTS?
Yes. We build completed tooling packages and mechanical fixtures, and we verify the critical interfaces here so the thing fits when it reaches the field.
DO YOU PROVIDE MATERIAL CERTS AND INSPECTION REPORTS?
Yes — full material certs and inspection reports, including CMM inspection for tight-tolerance validation. Tier-1 supply chains ask for the paperwork and we have it ready.
CAN YOU MAKE A PART IF WE DON'T HAVE DRAWINGS?
Bring us the part. We'll measure it, model it, and make it again. Legacy components with no documentation are routine work here.
