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

5 to 15 business days at one Ontario shop. Rush is often possible.

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 does a machine shop charge an hour?

One BC shop posts $120 an hour for CNC work. A US shop posts US$90 for manual work. We found no Ottawa shop that posts its rate.

Is there a minimum charge?

Often. One Canadian shop bills at least 4 hours. Online services like Protocase take one-off parts.

What tolerance will I get?

What your drawing says. Without one, shops use a default. Xometry holds metal parts to 0.005 inch either way.

Can a shop copy my broken part?

Yes, many will. Bring the part, or the broken pieces, plus photos and what it does.

Do you list engine machine shops?

No. This guide covers shops that make and repair metal parts, not engine rebuilders.

Good to know

  • A STEP file plus a PDF drawing gets the fastest, most exact quote.
  • Price per part drops as quantity goes up. Ask for 2 or 3 quantities.
  • Shop rates cover machines, tooling and the building, not just wages.
