Equipment

Real equipment.
Defined capability.

Our primary customer-production machines are a Fadal VMC 15XT and a Sodick AQ325L wire EDM. We review part size, weight, material, workholding, tolerances, and schedule before committing to a job.

Industry experience is valuable, but the customer’s actual drawing and acceptance requirements determine whether a project is a fit.

Review Machine Capabilities
How we evaluate work

Requirements come first.

Initial Request
Describe the part

Start with the process, approximate dimensions, weight, quantity, and a brief description.

Feasibility
Review the fit

We consider machine capacity, material, handling, schedule, and any special requirements.

Follow-Up
Discuss the details

If the work aligns with our capabilities, we request drawings or models and discuss specifications before quoting.
