Christian Weiss: A Lifelong Journey in Machining and Manufacturing
Christian Weiss’s story begins in a machine shop, where he grew up immersed in the world of machining. While other children played outside, Christian was learning to craft precision components on a Hardinge speed lathe, creating piles of nylon chips. This early exposure nurtured his love and talent for machining, a passion seemingly inherited from generations of family machinists.
Throughout his childhood, Christian spent countless hours in his father's shop, mastering manual machining on Hardinge DSM-59s, Victor engine lathes, and Bridgeport mills. At age 13, his father purchased the shop’s first CNC machine. This marked a turning point for Christian. Taking a week off school, he learned CNC programming alongside the shop’s Applications Engineer, igniting a lifelong dedication to advanced machining technology.
Key Milestones in Christian Weiss’s Career:
- 1976 (the “76” in the logo): Weiss Machine & Tool was founded by Carl Weiss.
- 1990: The company’s first CNC machine purchased, sparking Christian’s interest in automation.
- 1996: Christian took over day-to-day operations of his father’s shop.

- 2005: Christian returned to machining following an honorable discharge from the Army.
- 2007: Began a career in CNC field service with an independent service company, expanding his expertise in machine tool maintenance and applications.
- 2012 (the “12” in the logo): Christian relaunched Weiss Machine, providing expert CNC field service and applications engineering. The company’s focus is on reducing downtime and increasing productivity in the CNC machine tool industry.
- 2018: Added consulting to the list of Weiss Machine offerings specializing in improving equipment and manpower utilization and helping clients enhance production efficiency and profitability.
- 2024: Through an alliance with NIMS, Weiss Machine now offers workforce training, development, and credentialing.
From learning the basics of manual machining to spearheading advancements in CNC technology and consulting, Christian Weiss’s journey reflects a lifelong commitment to innovation, precision, and service in the machining and manufacturing industries.
