Process

Six steps from enquiry to dispatch.

Send the drawing, dimensions, material, quantity and delivery postcode. The quotation confirms the file revision, machining operations, preparation, checks, price and dispatch method before work is scheduled.

  1. 1

    Send the project

    Share the drawing, files, dimensions, quantity and intended use.

  2. 2

    Technical review

    Material, cutter access, hold-down, fit risk and missing information are checked.

  3. 3

    Defined quote

    The quotation records the revision, machining, preparation, checks, price and delivery.

  4. 4

    Approval and deposit

    You accept the quotation and pay the 50% deposit before production begins.

  5. 5

    Cut and check

    Parts are machined and the agreed critical checks are recorded.

  6. 6

    Balance and dispatch

    The remaining balance is paid before the prepared and protected parts are dispatched.

What is reviewed

Machinability before optimism.

A vector that looks correct on screen can still contain open paths, duplicate lines, tiny segments, impossible internal corners, unclear depths or features that cannot be held safely. A drawing can omit the face, datum or tolerance that makes the part unambiguous.

Typical review points

  • Overall dimensions and material thickness
  • External profiles and internal cut-outs
  • Which face contains each pocket or rebate
  • Depths and through-cuts
  • Minimum internal corner radius
  • Hold-down and part movement risk
  • Grain or face orientation where relevant
  • Quantity, part separation and finishing
  • Critical fit and how it will be verified

What approval means

Approval confirms the quoted scope and the referenced file revision. It does not transfer responsibility for the suitability, safety or compliance of the finished product. A change after approval may require a revised quote and production date.

What is checked

The quotation identifies the checks appropriate to the job. These may include an overall dimension, a critical hole or pocket location, a fit sample, part count, visible damage and grouping. General dimensional inspection is not a substitute for a defined tolerance or acceptance method.
