Bill Tuggle runs the Machine Shop at Regal Research but his journey as a machinist began long before.

Bill started his manufacturing career back in 1981, learning how to run his first parts on a Hardinge one-arm bandit. Since then, he has learned countless lessons on what makes a good machinist, and what it takes to manage a shop floor.

In our conversation with Bill, he shares the insights and perspective of a seasoned manager in manufacturing. He discusses how the shop floor has evolved over time, what it takes to be a standout machinist, and how he builds trust and communication with his staff while guiding them as they grow their skills and quality.

7/14/26 — Annual Snow Cone Day. A cool tradition at Regal Research.

Nothing like a cool treat to beat the Texas summer heat. Our annual Snow Cone Day returned with a visit from Kona Ice.

A few moments from today. 🍧☀️

Who said milling can't be gallery worthy?

Our art lives under spindle lights, measured in thousandths and shaped by experienced hands.

Swipe through a few gallery-worthy moments from the shop floor.

Mike Wolter began his journey in Manufacturing nearly 6 decades ago and he was our first employee back in 1979. His knowledge of his craft and the legacy he has left at Regal Research are legendary and impossible to capture in just a photo post (we tried).

Check out our latest YouTube video where he sat down with us to have a chat before officially retiring. Take notes because he had plenty of Machinist wisdom to share!

Delivery day with our Okuma Multus B250II!

Regal Research continues to invest in advanced manufacturing to better support customers in aerospace, medical, and tight-tolerance applications.

The Okuma Multus B250II expands our ability to deliver tight-tolerance, complex components with greater speed and consistency.

Fun facts about the Multus B250II:

✅ Single-setup machining (turning + 5-axis milling) reduces stack-up error and improves geometric accuracy
✅ Tighter tolerances & superior repeatability for critical components
✅ Shorter lead times through reduced setups and streamlined workflows
✅ Improved surface finishes and feature quality on complex geometries
✅ Greater process control = less variability, higher confidence in every part

This investment allows us to increase production capacity while simultaneously improving precision across the board.

We’re excited to bring this machine online! What should our Machine Shop run on it first?
