CNC Vertical Machining

CNC vertical machining uses computer-controlled tools that move up and down (vertically) to cut and shape materials. At Istar Machining, we use these amazing machines to make perfect parts for many industries. Our vertical machining centers (VMCs) can make both simple and complex parts with very high precision.
