Driven by Ingenuity. Built to Work.
From tinkering in a backyard to building 40+ machines across the country, Gorilla CNC is fueled by hands-on experience and a drive to constantly improve.
It All Started With a Welder
Gorilla CNC's journey started with a welder on the side of the road - broken, but fixable. In 2007, Dusty and Bill were building everything from dog boxes to BBQ grills in a backyard. Orders rolled in, and in 2011, Gorilla Fabrication was born.
​
When the demand for food trucks and trailers grew, so did the need for precision. Dusty and Bill looked at CNC routers — but nothin out there fit their quality standards or budget. So they built one.
We use Amazon for most of our components. It’s not about cutting corners — it’s about making service simple.
The Brains Behind the Builds
Dusty didn't have formal training in mechanical engineering — just a mind that never stops solving. From his first CNC router to every one built since, the focus has always been the same:
​
Build is strong. Make it smart. Keep it serviceable.
​
Each Gorilla CNC router is:
-
Designed for rigidity and repeatability
​​
-
Built in-house from raw steel and aluminum
​​
-
Assembled, wired, and tested in Charleston, SC
​​
Rather than locking customers into expensive proprietary parts, we use quality components that are easy to find — so when it’s time to upgrade or replace, it’s quick, affordable, and on your terms.
