Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between CNC and manual machining?
CNC machining uses computer-controlled equipment for highly repeatable, complex cuts—ideal for precision or large-volume parts. Manual machining is more flexible for one-off jobs or quick adjustments. The best option depends on your part’s complexity, tolerance requirements, and how many you need.
Can you machine worn or damaged parts for repair?
Yes. Machinists can rebuild or replicate damaged components, often using reverse engineering. Accurate dimensions, samples or technical drawings are helpful. Repaired parts are typically machined to match original specifications or improved for longer life if frequent failure is an issue.
How fast can urgent machining jobs be completed?
Urgent machining can often be turned around within 24–72 hours, depending on the job size, material availability and machine capacity. Clearly mark the job as urgent, provide all specs up front and confirm lead times before sending anything to reduce delays.
