LittleMachineShop.com is a U.S.-based supplier of small machine tools, tooling, replacement parts, and accessories for home machinists, hobbyists, and small workshops. Founded by machinist Chris Wood in the early 2000s, the company began as a resource to help owners of mini lathes and mills find the tooling, parts, and information that were difficult to obtain at the time.
Over the years, the company expanded its catalog and collaborated with machinists and manufacturers to develop improved equipment, including its HiTorque line of upgraded mini mills and lathes. LittleMachineShop.com remains focused on supporting the home machining and maker community with tools, parts, and technical resources.
