For CNC, and manual machining, and gear and spline cutting DC is the go-to machine shop. They can work from your plans, reverse engineer projects, or design from scratch. They are well equipped, reliable. And best of all : honest. If the job will take 4 weeks, they will tell you that, and not promise it for 1 week just to get the job and then string you along. I have known the owners for many years and am glad they set out to start their own shop.
