🏭 About Power Gen Components and Vegas Fastener Manufacturing

Power Gen Components and Vegas Fastener Manufacturing form an established specialty-fastener manufacturing operation in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Vegas Fastener Manufacturing was founded in 1998 and has grown into a vertically integrated manufacturer producing forged and precision-machined fasteners for demanding applications. Its capabilities extend from hot forging and CNC machining through thread rolling, EDM, grinding, testing and final inspection.

Power Gen Components specializes in standard and custom fasteners for power generation and oil and gas applications. Together, the companies manufacture bolts, nuts, studs, sockets and custom-to-print components in quantities ranging from one piece to thousands.

This is not commodity machining. Many components are manufactured from high-temperature, corrosion-resistant materials such as Inconel 718, Inconel 625, Monel, A-286, MP alloys, Hastelloy and hardened stainless steels. These parts support aerospace, defense, naval and marine, power generation, oil and gas, chemical-processing and other critical applications.

The Las Vegas operation combines extensive CNC capacity with in-house forging, tooling, inspection and testing capabilities. Continued investment in Okuma turning centers, mill-turn technology, EDM, thread rolling and production automation supports the company’s ability to manufacture difficult parts reliably and consistently.

👍 Why you’ll like working here

This is an opportunity to work in a substantial manufacturing operation where machining is central to the business.

Machinists and programmers work on specialty fasteners and custom components that must perform in extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, high-pressure systems and other demanding conditions. The materials and requirements create real technical challenges involving tooling, workholding, programming, process control and inspection.

Depending on your position and experience, you may take responsibility for complete CNC setups, program development, troubleshooting, first-piece inspection and process improvement. Quality professionals can develop from foundational inspection work into GD&T, First Article Inspections, nonconformance evaluation and team leadership.

The operation includes more than 70 Okuma CNC turning centers, CNC vertical mills, EDM equipment, thread-rolling machines, grinders and extensive in-house inspection and testing resources. Day and night opportunities are available, and the CNC positions currently offer a four-day, Monday-through-Thursday schedule with weekends off.

⚙️ What you’ll be working on

The company manufactures bolts, nuts, studs, sockets and custom-to-print machined components for critical industrial applications.

The work includes CNC turning, milling, drilling, threading and other operations required to manufacture specialty components from challenging materials. Depending on the role, employees may develop or edit CNC programs, complete machine setups, select tooling and workholding, establish offsets, prove out first pieces and troubleshoot production issues.

Common materials include Inconel 718, Inconel 625, Monel K-500, A-286, Hastelloy, MP alloys, stainless steels and other high-temperature or corrosion-resistant alloys.

Parts are produced to engineering drawings, customer specifications and recognized industry standards. Machinists regularly use micrometers, calipers, gauges and inspection fixtures to verify dimensions and maintain quality throughout production.

The broader manufacturing process also includes hot forging, thread rolling, wire and sinker EDM, centerless grinding, nondestructive testing and mechanical testing.
