Our History
Since our inception in 1981 Tampa Bay Machining has provided parts and services to some of the largest corporations in the world while still working side by side with startup local businesses. After years of supporting local businesses in the Tampa Bay area with their various needs TBM began focusing more on support of the Defense and Aerospace sectors.
Over the years TBM has manufactured components for spectrometers, commercial gun accessories, defense missiles, to space application parts. For many years TBM has been called on by industry leading companies to produce high-rate production needs. Due to TBM’s stellar track record Princeton Precision Group acquired them in October 2021. With the increased backing of Princeton Precision Group Tampa Bay Machining commitment to quality and on time delivery continues.

CNC Milling
Our 15 CNC milling machines give us the capacity to meet your small- or large-run production requirements. Six are twin-spindle, allowing us to easily transition between small runs and larger production runs while remaining price-competitive and maintaining extremely tight tolerances. Our practice of employing highly expert operators and using only state-of-the-art milling machines gives you the advantages of exceptional quality product and on-time delivery.
CNC Turning & Lapping
Our 7 CNC lathes are truly state of the art – with features that range from opposing spindles with bar feeding, the ability to turn with “live” milling and “Y”-axis milling capability, to simple chucker-type turning.
Our three-headed lapping machine with a 24-inch-diameter table enables us to lap parts up to approximately eight inches long. This machine allows us to hold flatness callouts as tight as .0001 on many parts
Assembly
Our assembly team installs over a million helicoils every year. But we don’t stop there. We also rivet, install keenserts, all types of swage-lock hardware, and pem studs – in addition to handling numerous other assembly requirements. Your manufactured parts are carefully and precisely assembled using calibrated torque wrenches and/or adhesives that allow us to meet your strictest requirements.
