This was a small, simple job of nine parts fabricated from 6" by 1" aluminum bar stock. A few holes drilled, some threaded, and a couple of milled slots.

I recommend Professional Machining Solutions, and will definitely use them again when the need arises.

In addition, they offered some corrections to our drawings and some cost savings tips they could implement on our design that would not only save us money but would be more aesthetic and pleasing to the eye.

I would highly recommend Brightlight to anyone and am using them for our next project right now.

I had 2 damaged Gendron chairs that I have tried unsuccessfully to find a wheel chair shop to fix them. I finally went onto the internet searching other fixes and found this wonderful company called Bright Light Welding and Manufacturing in Santa Clara, CA. Bright Light Welding and Manufacturing are the nicest, kindest most generous, people I have ever met. I didn't ask them where they were from but they had that "Southern hospitality attitude." Bright Light has the cleanest business offices and manufacturing shop I have seen in years. Rick Wittrock of Bright Light Welding and Manufacturing restored my two chairs to actually better than new. He re-enforced the tubing that had been torn out with steel and the work is beautifully done. You have my gratitude. Rick Wittrock, you are my hero! I would have been elated with a crutch on that side of my chair but His work was immaculate and so professional done. I am so thrilled to have found these lovely people. I would recommend them to EVERYBODY! B. McCulla

I had Pawl create a custom fabricated steel umbrella adapter for me…read more I have a steel tube embedded in my concrete patio which serves as a sleeve, holding up my large shade umbrella. The umbrella needed to be replaced, but none of the new ones would fit in the sleeve.

His work was perfect, with great attention to detail and with great care for the aesthetics. It's a beautiful job, and he's a pleasure to work with. He did it immediately btw, and in record time, and his price was very reasonable.

My original glass top table cantilevered over 3 instead of 4 supporting points thus causing the glass top to be unstable. The glass top is very heavy so it never tipped over. But for 30 yrs, I had to religiously warn my guests to never lean over and rest their elbows on my table. Otherwise, it'll tilt the glass and scare everyone when the elbows are removed the glass makes a thud noise when it pops back to rest. The speed of SteelWerx was 1 day (or less than 24 hrs actually). Paul came over at 10am yesterday morning to see my table. Within the hour, he gave me a reasonable quote. By 9am today, he installed it for me. Paul has a good eye for aesthetics. I can't be happier.

I have been going to Jan and Deily for the past year and a half, for various company projects, as…read morewell as my side-projects for my house and cars. So it has been due time for me to write a review for him. Before I do, I have to say it is funny to read other reviews on Yelp, like the one about pressing car bushings (which truly not even specialized car shops would do). I have to go back to Jan for that, because I did not know he did such things. I had given up on replacing bushings on my car, after being turned down by so many local auto shops and mechanics. Now for that reviewer that rated them badly for a four week lead time... what sort of expectation was that? A poorly-run machine shop has downtime to let anyone cut in. By all means go to those shops instead or pay an arm and a leg, if that is the expectation... however, Optima Precision operates like all properly run, established machine shops do... schedule your work into their operation or work an expedite out with Jan and Deily... We are even lucky they are open to our side-projects. Bottom line, talk it out with them. They are very open to making things happen! Anyways, just to give a little background, I formerly worked as a design engineer for Zodiac Aerospace's oxygen system division, that made a lot of pneumatic components such as valves and manifolds. I can certainly attest that Jan and Optima Precision has the expertise and capabilities to machine top-notch quality parts. Whether you are dealing with extruded, cold-pressed, tempered aluminum, steel or etc., or softer brittle plastics like plexiglass or acrylic, up to something like 6 feet by 4 feet (double check with him), he and his crew can take care of that. I originally went to Optima Precision because Jan and Deily were the more responsive, local machine shop. They are very approachable and easy to communicate with (their English is solid). Most importantly, their pricing and lead times were very competitive, compared to the other shops in the area. Easiest way to describe them is that they are flexible and understanding like the old machinists but they operate with the newer CNC mills (even though they have Bridgeports off to the side). In other words, they are not like other new machinists that refuse small orders and cannot think other than what their CNC machine tells them they can or cannot do. What do I mean by an old machinist? Jan did not just go off my engineering drawings, but he verified my design intent to make sure my parts would fit and functioned well in my application. He was more concerned with what I wanted my part to turn out as, rather than what his machines could or could not do. To affirm other reviews, Jan and Deily are truly open to make small quantities (even one or two pieces like other reviews stated) and, of course, scaling to large production quantities. If you have worked with machine shops enough, you would understand that Optima Precision is a no brainer to have your parts, at least, quoted there each time. Long review, but hope that helps you all when considering!

I mentioned I was not in a hurry and could leave it for the weekend. Before I could finish explaining and before price was even discussed I was interrupted and told the wait would be 4 weeks. To machine 2 holes? Shouldn't take a competent machinist more than 10 minutes. No thanks. I dropped the part off at another machine shop and had it back minutes later machined perfectly to specification.

He and his team were professional. I would highly recommend him for any welding needs big or small.

I cannot say enough good things about this small family owned business. It's rare that I need something welded and finding a good welder was a task.
