About Us

A Machine Shop That
Actually Talks to You

Sentinel Machining is a precision CNC machine shop in Austin, Texas. We specialize in custom aluminum and steel parts — from one-off prototypes to short production runs.

What makes us different: you talk directly to the machinist. No sales reps, no account managers, no game of telephone. Send a drawing, get a quote, ask a question — you'll hear back from the person actually making your parts.

We work with you from concept to finished part. Need to validate a design before committing to metal? We'll 3D print it first, iterate until it's right, then machine the final version.

The Difference

Why Sentinel?

01

Direct Communication

You talk to the person making your parts. No sales department, no account managers, no game of telephone. Send a drawing, get a quote, ask a question — you'll hear back from the machinist directly.

02

Prototype First, Then Produce

Why gamble on an expensive machined part when you can validate the design with a quick 3D print? We prototype in plastic, iterate until it's right, then machine in metal. Saves you time and money.

03

Fast Turnaround

Small shop, no backlog bureaucracy. We quote fast, start fast, and deliver fast. Prototypes in days, not weeks. Production runs on a timeline that works for you. We give an honest delivery date and hit it.

Worked with Peter from initial concept through production on our custom Harley foot pegs. Direct communication made the whole process smooth — no middlemen, no delays. 10 sets delivered exactly to spec.
