Precision Cam has always been a family run business. Formed out of the Harold W. Baker Co. in the 1950s - a company that had been engaged by the US government in World War II ammunition contracts - the current owner, Harold W. Baker III, started his informal apprenticeship at the age of seven. With just a short break for education and military service in the 1960s (173rd Airborne Brigade) he has spent a lifetime honing his skills as a design engineer.

Precision Cam has always concentrated in special design manufacture and when it became a corporation in the 1980s started to design and build special tools for the paper industry. These days they engage in machine design, rebuilding and restoration, and are one of the few lifelong specialists in classic Brown & Sharpe machines. With over 50 years of hands-on machine shop experience they have unmatched skills in special part manufacture.

From intricate machine parts to specialist gun pieces Precision Cam are able to create or replace all parts, large and small in a variety of materials.
