Brown & Sharpe cam-operated screw machines earned decades of loyalty and became legendary workhorses in manufacturing primarily due to their incredible durability and mechanical reliability. Renowned for their extremely robust, heavy-duty construction – often described as being "built like tanks" – they could withstand the rigors of continuous, high-volume production. Their primarily mechanical nature, driven by cams and gears rather than complex early electronics, meant they were often perceived as more straightforward to maintain and repair by skilled mechanics, with fewer potential points of electronic failure. Once meticulously set up for a specific job, these machines could consistently and rapidly churn out vast quantities of identical parts for years, even decades, with proper upkeep, making them incredibly dependable and profitable assets for mass production throughout much of the 20th century.

This benchmark of American manufacturing is no longer in production today, but the shops that still have operational Brown & Sharpe screw machines in their toolkit enjoy the added versatility of being able to handle projects where CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery is simply not cost effective. Our Brown & Sharpe Single Spindle Screw Machines mean that we can handle any size job up to 1 5/8" in diameter.
