±0.0005 in, in production. Minimum order: one.
Custom metal components and assemblies for industrial equipment, automation, electronics, and maintenance applications — prototypes, short runs, and repeat production. Every envelope and tolerance on this site is what our current machines hold — not a best case from a good day.
Example part — not a customer drawing
- CAD formats accepted
- STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SolidWorks, and 2D PDF with dimensions
- Minimum order
- One piece. Prototypes are normal work here, not a favour
- Quote turnaround
- Two business days for most parts, same day for repeats
- Typical lead time
- 10 – 15 business days for a first article, 5 – 10 for repeats
- Material certification
- Available on request; state it on the RFQ so we buy to certificate
- Inspection report
- First-article dimensional report included on every new part number
The equipment, with what each machine can hold.
Production tolerance, not best case
| Process | Machine | Work envelope | Axes | Tolerance | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CNC milling | 3-axis vertical machining centre | 40" × 20" × 25" | 3 | ±0.0005 in | 1 – 2,500 |
| CNC milling | 4-axis vertical machining centre | 30" × 16" × 20" | 4 | ±0.0005 in | 1 – 2,500 |
| CNC turning | Two-axis lathe with live tooling | 12" swing × 40" between centres | 2 + live | ±0.0004 in | 1 – 5,000 |
| Sheet-metal fabrication | CNC press brake | 10 ft × 3/8" mild steel | — | ±0.010 in on bend | 1 – 1,000 |
| Welding and assembly | MIG, TIG, and fixture assembly | Fabrications to 8 ft | — | Per print | 1 – 500 |
| Inspection | Coordinate measuring machine | 24" × 20" × 16" | 3 | 0.0001 in resolution | Per lot or 100% |
Tighter than the figures above is a conversation about the specific feature. We will tell you when something is outside what this equipment can hold rather than taking the job and hoping.
