The shop, by the numbers.
01 / From print to part
Email your drawing (PDF, STEP, DXF, or IGES) to [email protected], along with quantity, material, and finish if you know them. No formal drawing? A sketch or a sample part works — we'll help draft it.
A machinist reviews the print and sends back price and lead time, usually within a couple of business days. If we spot something that would add cost or cause trouble, we flag it in the quote.

02 / Our work
A sample of parts made for defense, automotive, and industrial customers. Everything here was built to a customer's print — quoted, machined, finished, and shipped.
