About Us

Pocasset Machine

We are a highly precise CNC shop located on the western edge of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Pocasset Machine’s capabilities are employed primarily to serve local and worldwide customers engaged in underwater activities. But we also offer so much more in CNC machining.

Pocasset Machine began under a different name in the 1960’s as a two-man tool & die shop in Waltham, MA. Al Kent acquired the shop in 1977 and soon thereafter relocated it to Cape Cod, positioning the company to serve the local oceanographic research market, including the prestigious Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Al’s two sons, Barry and Chris, soon took over for their father, successfully operating and growing the company for nearly five decades.

In July 2025, the brothers sold the firm to Compass Precision, who continues to run the company in the same fashion.

Now under the Compass umbrella, our capabilities provide CNC machined & fabricated parts with demanding geometries and difficult materials for customers with a wide-range of needs. Our shop in Pocasset, MA is 19,000 square feet in size and employees about 25 experienced CNC machinists, programmers, inspectors, support and management personnel.

Like all of our sister Compass shops, we want to serve your manufacturing needs.
