Full-Service Precision Machining That Delivers When the Work Gets Difficult

Milan's Machining is a full-service precision machine shop based in Cicero, Illinois. We've spent decades building the capabilities, equipment, and expertise to handle all size components including work that other shops turn away — oversized components, complex geometries, tight tolerances, and demanding schedules. We got you covered.

From small to large-format turning and milling to gear cutting, grinding, and waterjet, we offer one of the broadest machining capabilities under a single roof. That breadth isn't accidental. It reflects a deliberate commitment to being the full-service precision machining shop our customers have come to rely on when the job gets difficult.

Our team works directly with customers throughout every project communicating clearly, flagging issues early, and delivering parts that are manufactured to print, every time.

Full-Service Precision Machining

Six core disciplines. One facility. The equipment and experience to take a job from raw material to finished, quality inspected parts.

vertical-turning

CNC & Manual Vertical Turning

For parts too large or heavy for a horizontal lathe. Components sit on a rotary table supported by gravity, reducing deflection on large bores, faces, and ODs.

Up to 94.5" dia. · 61" tall

manual-horiz-turning

CNC & Manual Horizontal Turning

Precision shafts, cylinders, and complex turned profiles. Manual turning for short runs, repairs, and jobs that require operator judgment over automation.

CNC: Up to 31.5" dia. · 236" length

Manual: 36”OD x 192” Long

cnc-milling

CNC & Manual Horizontal & Vertical Milling

Oversized weldments, structural frames, tooling plates, and complex multi-feature parts. We work from your prints and CAD models with close Quality Assurance throughout the process.

80" × 158" work envelope

cnc-grinding

Precision Grinding

Vertical, horizontal, and surface grinding for precision finish diameters, critical bores, and flat surfaces on components of all sizes.

Vertical: 68" dia. X 54” height

Horizontal: 18” dia. X 120" length

Surface: 20” x 40”

waterjet-cutting

Waterjet Cutting

No heat, no distortion. Steel, stainless, aluminum, titanium, and more. Cut clean on a table that handles oversized plate and multi-part layouts.

80" × 160" cutting table

6" thickness

gear-cutting

Gear Cutting

Internal and external spur gears, helical gears, worm wheels, bevel gears, splines and serrations with a special emphasis on large shafts.

External OD to 72"

Shafts to 182"

Pitch 2 DP to 32 DP

Quality Assurance

Every part is inspected by our QA team before it ships. Precision measuring equipment is used throughout production — not just at the end.

Why High Phosphorus Nickel Plating Is the Best Defense Against Corrosion

If you work in an industry where metal components are constantly fighting against harsh chemicals or acidic environments, you're probably aware of high phosphorus nickel plating as a solution. But what exactly is it, and why does it outperform other surface coating options? Let's take a further look.

Precision Grinding and Polishing: The Final Step That Makes All the Difference

In manufacturing, the difference between a part that performs flawlessly and one that fails in service often comes down to the final step — and that final step is most often, precision grinding and polishing.
