Machining Capabilities at Sycamore Precision

Single-Source CNC Machining Trusted Since 1978

Sycamore Precision is a full-service machine shop in Illinois specializing in high-precision CNC machining for complex, tight-tolerance parts. With engineering, machining, powder coating, and assembly all under one roof, we help OEMs and manufacturers shorten lead times, control costs, and maintain consistent quality from first article to final assembly.

This page outlines our core machining capabilities—what our machines do, why they matter, and the types of components they’re commonly used to produce.

Our CNC lathes are built for producing precise, round, and rotational parts with excellent repeatability. Many of our machines offer live tooling and multi-axis functionality, allowing us to complete turning and milling operations in a single setup. This reduces handling, improves accuracy, and speeds up production.

Our turning department supports industries such as hydraulic systems, oil & gas, heavy equipment, medical, and electronics, where consistency and dimensional accuracy are critical.

With an extensive lineup of horizontal and vertical CNC mills, including advanced 4-axis machines, Sycamore Precision can handle complex geometries, tight tolerances, and multi-sided parts efficiently. Horizontal machining centers allow for higher material removal rates and improved chip evacuation, making them ideal for demanding production environments.

This diverse milling capacity allows us to scale production, balance workloads, and maintain short lead times without sacrificing quality.

Sycamore Precision offers multi-axis machining for parts that require features on multiple sides, tight positional tolerances, or complex geometries. Using a combination of 4-axis CNC mills and multi-axis turning centers, we reduce the number of setups required. This improves accuracy, consistency, and overall efficiency.

Our multi-axis capabilities are supported by the following advanced equipment. These machines allow us to complete turning and milling operations in fewer setups, reducing lead times and minimizing tolerance stack-up.
