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, bushings, fixtures and brackets

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

Cambridge machine shops quote time per job. Give your deadline when you send drawings.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    What tolerance do you hold if my drawing doesn't say?

  2. Q2

    Is setup or programming charged on top?

  3. Q3

    How does the price per part change with quantity?

Questions

Machining FAQ

What if I do not have a CAD file?

Send photos, a sketch with sizes or the old part. Ask whether the shop can make a drawing before quoting.

What should the drawing show?

Include the material, quantity, finish and tolerances. Mark the sizes that matter for fit.

Is there a minimum order?

Ask about minimum quantities and setup charges. Tell the shop whether you need a single part or repeat batches.

Good to know

  • A STEP file plus a PDF drawing helps the shop check fit and quote the work.
  • No Cambridge shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
