Capabilities

Nine capabilities, one facility

Most shops do one or two of these and farm out the rest. We kept building our own departments so a part never has to leave the building.

01

Engineering & Reverse Engineering

Prints, samples, or a worn original. We model the part and plan the build.

02

Materials Cutting

Plate, bar, and stock cut to size before fabrication and machining begin.

03

Steel Fabrication

Welded frames, weldments, and structural assemblies built to spec.

04

Castings

Cast components produced in house, then machined and finished on site.

05

Precision Machining

CNC and manual machining of shafts, gears, and complex parts to tight tolerances.

06

Gear Cutting

Custom gears cut and finished for repair, replacement, and new builds.

07

Assembly

Subassemblies and full units put together, checked, and readied for service.

08

Equipment Rebuild

Heavy equipment and production machines stripped, repaired, and rebuilt.

09

Industrial Painting

Protective and finish coatings applied before the part ships out.

Gears & Shafts

Custom gear manufacturing, cut to your spec

Gears are some of the most demanding parts we cut. Our custom gear manufacturing covers the common tooth geometries, from a single replacement to a production run, and we machine the matching custom shafts so the whole drive fits together.

Bevel Gears

Straight and spiral bevel gears for right-angle drives, cut to your pitch and pressure angle.

Helical Gears

Single and double helical gears for quieter, higher-load power transmission.

Spiral Bevel Gears

Spiral bevel gear sets where smooth contact and strength matter most.

Miter & Hypoid Gears

Miter gears for equal-ratio turns and hypoid gears for offset shaft drives.

Worm & Screw Gears

Worm gears and screw gears for high reduction ratios in a compact footprint.

Gear Hobbing & Cutting

Gear hobbing and gear cutting in house, so a worn or obsolete gear gets reproduced fast.

Custom Shafts

Drive shafts, splined shafts, and keyed shafts machined to match the gears they carry.

Made to Print or Sample

Bring prints or a worn original. We reverse engineer the gear or shaft and rebuild it.

The Difference

The OEM way vs the TCM way

A lot of original builders cut their supplier base and shipped the work overseas. We went the other direction.

The typical OEM path

  • Suppliers cut, work farmed out to whoever bids lowest
  • Offshore production with long lead times and shipping risk
  • Obsolete parts dropped from the catalog entirely
  • One job split across vendors who never talk to each other

The TCM way

  • The full job stays in one building, start to finish
  • Domestic production with no offshore hand-offs
  • Obsolete parts reverse engineered and rebuilt
  • One team accountable for the whole part

Have a part, a print, or a machine that needs work?

Send what you have and we will tell you straight whether we can build it, rebuild it, or reverse engineer it.

Why TCM

Why buyers keep coming back

75 years of continuity

The same shop has machined parts for Alabama industry since 1949. That history shows up in the people who run the machines.

ISO 9001:2015 quality

A certified quality system means the part you approve is the part you get, with the documentation to back it. See our certification.

A complete capability stack

Engineering through finish painting lives in one facility, so your part never waits on an outside vendor to free up time.

Built in house, never offshore

No supplier in another country sits between you and your part. The work happens here, and we own every step of it.
