OUR STORY
BBM was founded more than a decade ago as a CNC machine restoration company. In repairing and remanufacturing hundreds of various brands of CNC machines, we saw the same recurring issues. We realized we could build a better CNC machine, and decided we should, because fabricators deserve better.
We shifted our mission from restoration to innovation, and set out to create our very own machinery, improved for power, durability and ease of use.
BIRTH OF THE PALADIN
Our first product, the PALADIN stone router, hit production in 2022, setting a new standard for CNC stone routers.
Every design element in our machines is carefully thought-out to improve the CNC machining experience for fabricators. We understand the pain points, and we’ve made it our mission to eliminate them.

WE MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY USED TO
It’s an old adage that resonates with all of us, because it’s true. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Many products are cheaply made today– and that’s often by design. Corners are cut to shave costs, and products are engineered to fail at certain points to increase profits. That’s not how we do business at BBM. We create high-quality products that keep customers coming back for more.
