Working demo — every specification below still needs to be verified in the shop.
Capabilities

Machining capabilities and practical limits.

Use this page to compare your part with our processes, materials, size range and inspection methods. Confirmed shop data will replace the temporary specifications.

Core processes

The items below are demo assumptions. Before launch, every line must be checked against machine plates, past parts and operator experience.

01
Likely core process

CNC Turning

Shafts, sleeves, flanges, fittings and other rotational parts. The final page will lead with the part families the shop knows best.

CNC Milling

Plates, blocks, brackets and straightforward housings. Three-axis, fourth-axis and partner capabilities must be separated clearly.

Secondary Operations

Drilling, tapping, deburring, heat treatment and surface finishing. The important thing is not a long list; it is clear responsibility.

Materials

“Steel, aluminium and brass” is not enough.

The production site should name actual grades and distinguish between common, possible with review, and not currently accepted.

What we decline is part of the capability story.

Worth sending for review

  • Prototype and small-batch custom parts
  • Jobs that benefit from direct operator judgement
  • Stable revisions that may become repeat work
  • Replacement parts with incomplete documentation

Needs careful review

  • Unproven extreme tolerances or unfamiliar materials
  • Parts outside the verified machine envelope
  • Immediate production without a prototype stage
  • Certification or traceability requirements not yet supported

Not sure whether the part fits? Send the drawing and we will list the questions first.
