About Great Lakes Shafts

The Michigan Machine Shop, Reimagined.

We've paired generations of Michigan tool-and-die precision with a platform built for the modern plant floor. Great Lakes Shafts is the configure-to-order storefront for custom precision turned parts: shafts, pins, bushings, and spacers. Machined in Northern Michigan, shipped direct to your dock.

No sales reps. No RFQ ping-pong. No waiting days for a quote on a part you already know. Configure your part online, get an instant price, and order on the spot.

Powered by CarbonNapkin

Great Lakes Shafts runs on the CarbonNapkin platform, purpose-built software that connects engineers directly to manufacturing capacity. The configurator draws your part in real time, prices it instantly, and generates the engineering drawing that goes to the shop floor. One system, napkin to shipping label.
