Questions
Machining FAQ
What does machining cost in Surrey?
Performance Metal Technologies in Surrey posts $120 an hour for CNC milling and turning, with a 4 hour minimum. Ask for a quote covering your drawing, material, setup and inspection.
Is the listed wage a machine shop rate?
No. Job Bank reports employee wages for the Lower Mainland and Southwest region. A customer quote also needs to cover the work, equipment and shop costs.
Can I send a sample instead of CAD?
Send photos and sizes first. Ask whether the shop can measure your sample, make a drawing and check the fit against the mating parts.
Good to know
