Machining the Future: Arnette Pattern Company’s CNC Precision for Power & Beyond

Nov 10, 20257 min read

At Arnette Pattern Company in Granite City, IL, CNC machining is the core of our business. From large-scale castings to critical power components, our vertical machining centers, dual large bridge mills, and heavy-duty CNC lathes deliver precision, scale, and reliability across two full-service facilities.



Built for Big: Large-Part Machining at Scale

Our large bridge mills—with extensive travel and table capacity—handle oversized castings, structural weldments, and custom power housings that most shops simply can’t accommodate. Paired with high-performance vertical machining centers, we produce complex, high-quality parts with consistency and speed.

When it comes to turning, our CNC lathes manage large-diameter work, including:

  • Machined rings for underwater piping systems
  • Bearing sleeves for the power generation industrysteady, high-demand production



CNC + Manual: Full-Spectrum Machining Solutions

CNC machining powers our high-volume runs (G-code programming, CAM-driven efficiency, automated tool paths), while our experienced manual machinists tackle prototypes, repairs, and custom fixtures with proven skill. This dual capability means faster setups, flexible scheduling, and unmatched versatility.



Power Industry Machining: Reliable Work That Keeps Growing

The power sector is a cornerstone of our machining workload:

  • Turbine component machining
  • Generator shaft sleeves
  • Substation structural bases
  • High-voltage support components

With electrification trends, data center expansion, and nationwide grid modernization, precision machining for power infrastructure remains consistent, long-term, and mission-critical—and our order books reflect it.
