Pick your material and the tightest tolerance on your drawing. The table crosses out the processes that can’t do it.
| Process | Tolerance | Largest part | Lead time | Aluminum | Stainless | Tool | Titanium | Brass | PEEK | Delrin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-axis milling | ±0.005 mm | 500 x 400 x 350 mm | 10 to 15 days | |||||||
| 3-axis milling | ±0.010 mm | 1000 x 500 x 500 mm | 7 to 10 days | |||||||
| Swiss turning | ±0.005 mm | 32 mm bar, 300 mm long | 10 to 15 days | |||||||
| CNC turning | ±0.010 mm | 350 mm diameter, 600 mm long | 7 to 10 days | |||||||
| Wire EDM | ±0.003 mm | 400 x 300 x 200 mm | 10 to 15 days | |||||||
| Surface grinding | ±0.002 mm | 600 x 300 mm | 5 to 7 days |
Sample Tolerances are what each process holds on a typical feature. Lead times are for a new part after you approve the quote.
Complex housings and brackets cut in one setup, so features that face five ways stay true to each other.
Plates, fixtures and prismatic parts, from one prototype to a few thousand on pallet changers.
Small, long, thin turned parts held close the whole length, with milled flats and cross holes in the same cycle.
Bushings, flanges and spacers, with live tooling for bolt holes and keyways so they skip the mill.
Sharp inside corners, hardened steel and thin walls that a cutter would push around.
Flat and parallel to two microns after heat treat, for gauge blocks, wear plates and tooling.
Bead blast and passivation in house. Anodize and black oxide through two local finishers we audit every year, with their certs in your box.
