Capabilities
One shop from first sketch to the part on your loading dock.
Concept, prototype, production and repair under one roof, so you're not managing three vendors and three lead times.
Machining & production
Once a prototype is signed off we move straight into production on our CNC mills and lathes. Same programs, same fixtures, same tolerances — whether you order one replacement component or a repeat batch every quarter.
- CNC MILLING
- CNC TURNING
- LIVE TOOLING
- BAR FEED
Hydraulic cylinder repair
Cylinder failure stops the machine and the machine stops the job. Cylinder work is now one of the biggest parts of our shop — reseal, hone, rod repair, chrome and full rebuild, with 24-hour rush service when your line is down. We also manufacture cylinders to spec.

- RUSH SERVICE
- CUSTOM MACHINING
- PROJECT MGMT
Repair & rebuilding
24-hour equipment parts repair to keep downtime short. Mechanical rebuilding, hydraulic rebuilding and gearbox rebuilding — and when a replacement part is obsolete or the OEM lead time is months out, we reverse-engineer and cut a new one.

Prototyping
Send a drawing, a 3D model or the sample part itself. We build a solid computer model, program it in CAM and cut a functional prototype to the model — then work through material, coating and heat-treat options with you before anything goes to production.

- 3D MODEL
- SAMPLE PART
- CAM PROGRAMMING
Materials & finishing
We cut the high-nickel and super alloys a lot of shops turn away — Inconel, Monel, titanium — plus hardened and stainless steels, aluminum and bronze. We also source the secondary processes most shops send you elsewhere for: cadmium plating, Alodine, hardening, nitriding and anodizing.

- INCONEL
- MONEL
- TITANIUM

Fabrication & welding
A full-service machine shop with fabrication and welding in-house, so assemblies, weldments and machined components come off the same floor and land on your dock as one finished job.

Recent work
Parts off our floor.
Not stock photography. Every one of these was cut here in Prince George for an industrial or equipment customer.
Working on something similar? Send the drawing and we will quote it. If it is a part we have made before, we will tell you that too.

After you hit send
What actually happens to your job.
No black box. Here's the route every part takes from your email to your dock.
STATION 01
Review
We read the drawing, model or photo, flag anything ambiguous and confirm material and tolerance before pricing.
STATION 02
Quote
Price, lead time and any secondary processes, itemised. If there's a cheaper way to cut it, we tell you at this point, not after.
STATION 03
Program
Solid model built, CAM programmed, fixturing planned. Prototype first when the part is new.
STATION 04
Machine
Cut on our mills and lathes, then out for plating, anodizing, nitriding or heat treat where the job calls for it.
STATION 05
Inspect & ship
Checked against the model under our quality system, documented, packed and shipped — locally or internationally.
Industries
We already know your equipment.
Who you'll be dealing with
A small shop.
You talk to the people cutting your part.
Owner-operated and Métis-owned
Westcan Machine is owned by Ryley and his wife, who is the majority owner. That ownership is certified by the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business and documented for your procurement team. It isn't a marketing line.
What that means for your job
No account manager relay, no quote desk in another province. Quotes come back from someone who has read the print. If there's a cheaper way to cut your part, or a reason it shouldn't be cut the way it's drawn, you hear it before the PO, not after.
Before you send
The questions buyers ask us first.
I don't have a drawing — just a broken part. Can you still help?
My part looks too big for your machines. Can you still make it?
Do you work with high-nickel and super alloys?
What's your minimum order? Will you do a single part?
Our line is down right now. How fast can you turn a repair?
Can you handle aerospace and defence work?
What materials and finishes can you work with?
Are you an Indigenous-owned business?
Can you receive controlled defence drawings?
Are you only serving northern BC?
We're looking for an ongoing supplier, not a one-off. Is that a fit?
Is my drawing confidential?
Get the part moving today.
Send the drawing, the model or a photo of what broke. We'll come back with a price and a lead time — and if there's a wider parts list behind it, we'll quote the program.
Or call if the line is down — we'd rather take it by phone.
