About Magnum Machining

Magnum Machining is a full-service CNC machining company located in Richmond, Illinois, specializing in prototype-to-production manufacturing of small to medium-sized precision components.

Founded in 2003, Magnum was built around a core strength: producing complex, multi-dimensional parts with speed, accuracy, and consistency. The shop supports customers across the medical, electronics, aerospace, food industry, and custom machinery sectors, with a strong emphasis on quick-turn prototypes and first-article production runs.

Magnum is known for its “Art to Part” manufacturing process — taking a customer’s data file and converting it directly into a finished, inspected component using modern CAD/CAM systems and CNC equipment. The result is fewer handoffs, fewer errors, and faster delivery.

This is a shop where precision, urgency, and accountability matter — and where machinists see the direct impact of their work.
