Before you call

Machining: the short version

Cutting metal or plastic parts to exact size on CNC mills, lathes or manual machines.

When you need it

  • A part you can't buy off the shelf
  • A prototype, then a run of the same part
  • A worn or broken part remade from a sample
  • Shafts and bushings for boats and heavy equipment

What to send the shop

  • A 3D file: STEP or IGES
  • A PDF drawing with tolerances
  • Material and quantity
  • Finish: anodize, plate, paint or none
  • No CAD? The old part, photos and sizes

Typical lead time

Burnaby machine shops quote time per job. Ask when you send your drawing.

Questions

Machining FAQ

What does CNC machining cost near Burnaby?

Performance Metal Technologies in Surrey posts $120 an hour for CNC milling and turning, with a 4 hour minimum. It is a comparison from Surrey, not a Burnaby quote.

What does the listed machinist wage mean?

Job Bank lists employee pay, not a machine shop rate. Ask for a quote covering setup, programming, material and machining.

Can I send an old part instead of CAD?

Send photos, sizes and the old part if available. Ask whether the shop can measure it and make a drawing.

Good to know

  • A STEP file plus a PDF drawing helps the shop check shape and tolerances.
  • No Burnaby shop we checked posts machining prices. The Surrey rate is only a guide.
