FAQ's

1. Factors Influencing CNC Machining Costs:

The cost of CNC machining a part is influenced by several key factors, including:

1. Material: Variations in material costs arise as some materials, such as aluminum, are more

cost-effective to machine than others like Inconel due to increased tool wear and slower cutting

speeds.

2. Complexity: Parts with intricate features incur higher machining costs. Complex surface shapes,

for instance, are notably more expensive to machine compared to flat surfaces.

3. Tolerances: Stringent dimensional tolerances escalate machining costs. Specifying unnecessarily

tight tolerances on non-critical features can contribute to increased CNC machining expenses.

4. Surface Finish: Achieving mirror finishes necessitates specialized tooling and machining

strategies, extending machining time and subsequently increasing costs.

5. Quantity: Low-volume production inherently comes at a higher cost per part than large-volume

production. This is because initial setup and programming costs are distributed over a greater

number of parts in large-volume production.

2. What are your tolerances for machined parts?

For machined parts, our tolerances typically adhere to +.005”/- .005” local tolerances across most

metal geometries and +/- 0.010" for plastics. It's important to note that these tolerances may vary

for large parts, especially concerning flatness after heat treatment.

For an "As Milled" finish, a minimum surface finish of 125 is maintained for CNC parts.

Fabricated parts come with a 0.010” dimensional tolerance and a 1° angular tolerance.

Tapped holes not explicitly designated as features in the CAD model may be machined to the

diameters specified.

Additionally, no surface treatments, such as anodizing, bead blasting, iriditing, powder coating,

etc., will be applied unless expressly paid for and acknowledged.

3. Why choose CNC machining?

Opting for CNC machining brings forth speed, accuracy, and versatility. This manufacturing solution

stands out as it swiftly delivers end-use parts at any volume without the requirement for

substantial investments in hard tooling or costly set-ups.
