Custom Machining from One Part to Full Production

VolkCNC is a Calgary CNC machine shop doing custom machining for industrial customers across Alberta and Canada. We take on single replacement parts, prototypes and repeat production runs — CNC turning, CNC milling, welding and assembly, all in our own shop on 9 CNC mills and lathes.

Typical Projects We Support

  • One-Off Custom Components
  • Replacement Parts
  • Reverse Engineered Components
  • Prototype Parts
  • Custom Tooling and Fixtures
  • Machined Components
  • Assembly Projects
  • Low-Volume Manufacturing
  • Production Runs

How We Make Custom Parts

  • CNC Turning and Threading

    Most custom parts start on the lathe. We turn shafts, sleeves, subs and housings — from a cap just over an inch long to a 32-inch oilfield casing run on the steady rest — and single-point the threads in house: Stub Acme, PAC, SLB, UN and metric.

  • CNC Milling

    Hex drives, wrench grooves, J-slot tracks, cooling fins and ported channels. Our machining centers are all 4-axis, plus a HAAS VF-2TR for full 5-axis work. Send a STEP file with the drawing — on some jobs the print is reference only and we cut straight from the customer's 3D model.

  • Welding, Finishing and Assembly

    Welding, assembly and laser engraving are done in house. Heat treat, nitriding, phosphate and electroless nickel go through our regular finishing partners, so the part comes back finished from one place.

  • Materials We Machine

    Carbon steel, alloy steel (chromoly), stainless steel including Nitronic, beryllium copper and aluminum. Stainless steel jobs range from a hardened main shaft with a double helical spiral milled the full length of the body to Nitronic shafts, which work-harden fast if the tool rubs instead of cutting.

One Part or a Thousand

Not every project starts with a production order. Many of our customers come to us with a drawing, a sample part, or simply an idea they want to turn into a finished product.

VolkCNC regularly manufactures prototype and low-volume parts for startups, engineering companies, manufacturers, maintenance departments, and machine shops. Early-stage parts often change between revisions, and they need a fast turnaround.

We are happy to take on projects starting from a quantity of one. On the other end, our largest recent batch was about 1,000 alloy steel adapters, where the work was as much about a repeatable setup as the first good part.

Custom Machining FAQ

It depends on the material, the number of setups, the tolerances and the quantity. Setup time is shared across the batch, so the price per part drops as quantity goes up. Our minimum order is around CAD 300. Send a drawing with the quantity and delivery date and we'll come back with price and lead time.
