About North Central Machine
North Central Machine was founded in 1994 in Houghton Lake, Michigan, when Kurt Kuzimski and his father began machining short-run jobs out of a single-car garage. The pair delivered parts across the region with an old Chevy truck and trailer, building a customer base through precision and speed. The business incorporated as Kuzimski Enterprises, Inc. in 2014, and Kuzimski became sole owner and president the following year when a new 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Knapp Road. The shop operates as a turn-key job shop with in-house CNC milling (20" x 50" travel), CNC turning (16" diameter by 60" length), surface grinding (16" x 32"), ID/OD grinding, Blanchard grinding (42" diameter), and MIG welding. A small team runs short-run production and reverse-engineering projects from the 6,500-square-foot plant, handling everything from prototype quantities to moderate batch sizes. Customers span automotive (transmission components, engine honing, close-tolerance grinding), forestry (field equipment repairs, knife sharpening), construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and commercial cutting-tool markets. The company ships throughout Michigan and into Indiana and Illinois. Kuzimski differentiates the shop by designing fixtures to accelerate setups, passing savings to clients, and by developing a grinding process that holds ±0.0002 inch on heat-treated parts that typically warp. The goal is to provide cost-saving solutions with quicker turnaround than other regional shops.
