Frederic Chelminski, owner and vintage machinist of CR Machine, is proud to offer quality reproduction fasteners made to order. We specialize in fasteners that help you restore the worlds finest pieces of mechanical history.

Attention to detail is at the forefront of what CR Machine does. Modern fasteners are forged from wire and stick out like a sore thumb. They can easily spoil the potential of a restoration project. Our “old style” fasteners are cut, using the same type of equipment and techniques used to make the original nuts and bolts for your machine.

Nickelite Blowpipes & Punties

CR Machine specializes in manufacturing blowpipes and punties. With 43 different sizes, you can be sure that whatever you are making, there is a blowpipe or punty that is perfect for your application. Nickelite™ glassblowing blowpipes and punties are made with higher grade materials than other tools. High Nickel stainless steels and high temperature alloys make Nickelite™ tools the strongest, most scale resistant lightweight tools in the industry. "Balance engineering™" and the new "micro-knurl™" contribute to the Nickelite™ philosophy of comfortable tools for the glass worker. Fatigue and joint problems can be a major problem for many veteran glassblowers, so the handling comfort of these fine quality tools is a welcome feature.

CUSToM Machining

CR Machine specializes in low to medium volume screw machine products up to 2” in diameter. We have expertise with difficult to machine materials like alloy and stainless steel. We have an extensive inventory of heavy duty tooling. In addition to production bar work, we have small to large manual turning and milling capabilities.
