CPG Machining: Your Line Is Down. The OEM Says 14 Weeks.

When a decades-old European filling or packaging machine breaks, sourcing the part from the original Italian or German OEM can take months and cost a fortune. Cutting Experts machines that same part domestically, faster, often to a better finish, at a lower cost.

Domestic Precision Machining, Built for Old Machines

We’re a precision machining division specializing in tight-tolerance metal and plastic parts. We’ve built a niche keeping legacy packaging and filling lines running for CPG manufacturers, reproducing the exact part you need without the OEM lead time or markup.

Faster Lead Times

Days or a few weeks, not months. When the line is down, speed is the whole game.

Lower Cost

No transatlantic freight, no OEM monopoly markup, no minimum-order games.

Equal or Better Finish

Industry-leading finishes and tight tolerances; often the new part outperforms the worn original.

No Drawing? No Problem

Send the worn part; with the right information and project we reverse engineer it into a precise spec.

Any OEM, Any Vintage

Italian, German, or domestic, brand doesn’t matter. Try us, we are confident we can meet your needs.

Held to Spec

5-axis milling, VF mills, routers, waterjets and full CNC capability hold the tolerances your line depends on.

Change Parts, Wear Parts & Custom Components

We focus on metal and plastic parts up to 24" × 24" for 3D components, though most legacy machine parts fall around the 6” to 12” mark. If it’s a part that wears, breaks, or gets reconfigured for a new SKU, it’s in our wheelhouse.

Part types listed: star wheels; timing/feed screws; change parts; guide rails; wear strips; augers; gears & sprockets; bushings; manifolds; pucks & carriers; cams; custom brackets.

Machining capability listed: 5-axis milling for complex geometry; VF mills & full CNC; CNC routers for plastics & sheet; waterjet cutting; tight-tolerance repeatable production; food-safe & engineering-grade materials (matched to application/washdown requirements).

A Stopped Line Doesn’t Wait for Europe

For a contract packager or co-packer, an idle filling line isn’t an inconvenience — it’s lost production, missed shipments, and contractual penalties stacking up by the hour.

Months: Typical wait to source an obsolete change part from an overseas OEM, if it’s still cataloged at all

$$$ / Hour: Downtime cost on a high-speed filling or packaging line while you wait for a single failed component

Discontinued: Many legacy machines are no longer supported; the OEM may not even make your part anymore

The 4 Step Process

No drawing for your packaging machine part? Cutting Experts reverse engineers worn or broken components into accurate, repeatable specs and machines exact replacements, given sufficient quantity.

Send Part or Print

Upload a drawing, DWG, STP, STEP, IGES file, or photos. No drawing? Ship us the sample.

We Quote & Confirm

Engineers review feasibility, material, and tolerance, then return price and lead time.

We Machine It

Produced on the right equipment to spec, with finish and tolerance verified.

You’re Back Up

Part ships to you; we can hold the file and stock spares so the next failure is a non-event.

A Worn Part Isn’t a Perfect Reference

The sample you send us is already worn. Copying it exactly would reproduce the wear. Our engineers work to recover the part’s original intended geometry, so the replacement performs like the part did when it was new, not like the one that just failed.
