expertise in the industry

My name is Ubaldo Prado, for over two decades, Prado's Precision Tools has thrived on discipline, drive, and determination under my sole ownership. Established in 1999, the company's humble beginnings with a lathe, milling machine, and grinding machine have evolved into a reputable machine shop.

Prado's Precision Tools specializes on repairing, rebuilding, and custom part manufacturing, offering integrated processes and utilizing CNC machines, sharpening tools, grinder tools, and internal and external diameter capabilities.

We understand the cost of downtime, prioritizing efficiency and speed in our work. Additionally, we provide maintenance plans to ensure your machines operate smoothly and to your satisfaction.

Quality with precision

At Prados Precision Tools, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality products and services. We use only the best materials and equipment and employ a rigorous quality control process to ensure that our products meet or exceed industry standards.

What we do

Within precision work roles, we engage in processes to remove material from a workpiece to achieve close tolerance finishes. Precision machining encompasses various types, such as milling and turning, and is vital in the production of metal products like steel, bronze, and plastic.

The tools used in precision machining vary based on project size, with lathes, milling machines, saws, and grinders being common choices.

A lathe, for instance, enables operations like cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deforming, orienting, and turning by rotating the workpiece on a rotation axis. On the other hand, milling involves the use of rotary cutters to shape materials. Additionally, dies play a crucial role in industry by cutting and shaping materials to desired specifications.

Rotating Lathe

At Prado's Precision Tools, we specialize in utilizing lathe machines for a wide range of operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, threading, and turning. The bed of a lathe plays a crucial role as a stable base supporting key components like the headstock, tailstock, and carriage, ensuring the precision of our work.

With the introduction of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology in the latter half of the 20th century, our operators can now program instructions for lathes, leading to enhanced accuracy in part production and a reduced need for additional operators.

Precision Grinding

We utilize high precision grinding machines to ensure accuracy in finishing metal parts with tight tolerances.

Precision grinding, crucial in industries like aerospace, medical, and automotive, delivers micrometer-level accuracies and smooth surface finishes.

This process, encompassing surface, cylindrical, and centerless grinding, plays a pivotal role in the final manufacturing stages.

Vision and Mission

At Prado's Precision Tools, our vision is to be the leading custom machine shop in the industry by delivering exclusive tools with precision. We strive to achieve this by constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation, quality, and customer service.

Transitioning from a service company to a precision-focused establishment, our core mission at Prado's Precision Tools is centered on meeting and exceeding client expectations. We are dedicated to delivering top-notch quality finishes and precise workmanship in a cost-effective, reliable, and prompt manner.
