Machine shops, also known as “back shops”, played a major role in the Industrial revolution. These shops produced parts that were used to create the industrial machines, used in factories at the time.   Today, thousands if not millions of items we use everyday for our employment, comfort, or enjoyment,  all started out in a machine shop. These shops have precision instruments that mass-produce parts, used in the production of various industrial, and consumer products.

Even though we are more well known for our electric motor and pump repair, Priest Electric has one of the most elaborate industrial grade machine shops in Boise.    Our Boise machine shop allows us to make custom repairs in house, with quick turn around times, while the competition has to outsource that work costing additional time and money.

Our machine shop has qualified engineers or mechanics, tasked with designing, and fabricating parts, for various needs. The task may include replacing a damaged part with a new one, or repairing a part that is malfunctioning. Repairs necessitate a lot of mechanical and technical operations, in order to make the part, as good as new. This means welding, cutting, grinding, and shaping a part, in order to return it into its original properly functioning condition. This demands expert skills, and experience, in using precision machines such as laser cutting, laser welding, and lathes. The personnel in our Boise machine shop have all the skills required to repair any part, in fact, we believe that we employ some of the best fabricators in Idaho. 

Our machine shop can also provide custom made parts for any purpose. Whether you need a part for your motorcycle, or an industrial pump,  just let us know, and we’ll make it for you.  Although our machine shop may not be set up to mass-produce these parts, our technicians have specialized skills that can deliver just about anything.  Ordering custom fabricated parts out of state can be a long, tedious, and expensive undertaking,   If you have the specifications for the part that you need, simply take them to our machine shop, and we will produce it for you.

In addition to all the traditional machine shop equipment, our machine shop has plasma and waterjet cutters that can be programmed to cut any design.
