ABOUT MTM

WE MAKE THE JOBS OTHERS WALK AWAY FROM

McIntyre Tool & Machine is a full-scope shop in El Cajon, California — machining, large-part work, tooling, welding, and assembly under one roof. We built it around the jobs other shops turn down: the oversized, the complex, the ones with no drawings left.

WHO WE ARE

A FULL-SCOPE SHOP, ON PURPOSE

Most machine shops do one thing and send the rest down the street. We went the other way. Milling, turning, large-part boring, tooling, fabrication, welding, and assembly all live in one building — because the moment a job gets split across vendors is the moment the schedule and the tolerance start to slip.

It's not built on theory. It's built on hands-on experience solving real manufacturing problems on the floor, every day — the kind of shop-floor judgment that decides whether a hard part gets made or gets passed on.

Precision CNC milling and turning
Large-part machining up to a 36" × 62" boring mill table
Tooling, fixtures, welding, and fabrication in-house
Assembly, integration, and spec-compliant packing
Repair and reverse engineering of legacy parts

THE LINEAGE

SECOND-GENERATION TOOLMAKERS

McIntyre is a second-generation name in the trade. The discipline that runs the shop today was handed down, not picked up — precision toolmaking passed from one generation of McIntyres to the next, and carried into modern CNC production without losing what made the old work good.

That lineage is why traditional craftsmanship and modern machining sit side by side here instead of competing. Manual expertise runs next to the CNC fleet because both, used right, make a better part.

HOW WE WORK

WHAT WE STAND ON

Four things that happen after the last cut.

SAY YES TO THE HARD ONES

The oversized part, the odd geometry, the job with no drawings — that's the work we're built for, not the work we avoid.

OWN THE WHOLE JOB

One shop, one point of contact, accountable start to finish. When something needs a decision, you talk to the people making the part.

TELL YOU STRAIGHT

If we're the right shop, we'll say so fast. If we're not, we'll say that too. A straight answer beats a slow maybe every time.

FROM THE OWNER

"WE SOLVE THE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS THAT PURELY AUTOMATED SHOPS WALK AWAY FROM."
