Let’s Bring It Back: Reviving America’s CNC Legacy

Jupiter Machine Tool isn’t just building machines—we’re rebuilding a legacy. Born in the same state where the CNC machine was invented, we’ve returned to Illinois with a mission: to reignite American manufacturing at its roots. As part of the reshoring movement, we believe the power to create belongs in every home, school, and workshop.

This is more than business—it’s a call to rebuild our industrial birthright.

Watch the video. Share the mission. Let’s bring it back.
