Prototype and production machining, fabrication, and repair for Murphy's light manufacturing and mixed commercial-industrial businesses.
Murphy sits between Plano and Wylie along Highway 205 and FM-544, a manageable drive from our Garland shop and well inside our 24-hour emergency coverage area.
Smaller Murphy businesses most often need a one-off prototype, a short production run, or a fabrication project handled without the overhead of an in-house machine shop, so that leads the list.
One-off prototypes, first articles, and short-to-medium production runs when a design needs to be proven before it goes to volume.
MIG, TIG, and laser welding for safety guarding, man platforms, carts, tables, frames, and complete welded assemblies.
3- and 4-axis CNC milling, live-tool turning, and manual machining for shafts, brackets, fittings, and other precision-machined components.
Line down, or a critical part broken with no drawing on file? Our 24-hour emergency service repairs, rebuilds, or reverse-engineers a replacement — even without a print.
90,000 PSI waterjet cutting, CNC routing, press-brake forming, shearing, and rolling for plate, sheet, and profile work.
Reverse-engineered and build-to-print components that cut lead time on obsolete, imported, or backordered parts.
Murphy's industrial base is smaller than its larger neighbors, made up mostly of light manufacturing and mixed commercial-industrial operations. For businesses this size, an outside shop that can handle a one-off prototype, a short production run, or a fabrication project without the overhead of an in-house machine shop is often the more practical route.

Emergency service when a line is down and downtime is costing you money.
Most Murphy jobs start the same way every job at Kimbrell does: with a phone call, a photo of the failed part, a rough sketch, or an existing drawing. From there we determine whether the fastest path is a repair, a reverse-engineered replacement, a new machined or fabricated part, or some combination — based on urgency and what actually makes sense for the job. Once a part or assembly is proven, we keep the drawing or program on file, so the next Murphy job — planned or emergency — moves faster.
Send the failed part, photo, sketch, or drawing. We'll review it and follow up with questions or an estimate.
