CNC machining for parts that have to hold a number
Milling and turning for work where the drawing carries a tolerance and the material is named on it. You specify the grade; an engineer reviews the geometry and quotes a fixed price.

Tighter tolerances are possible with additional finishing on request — this raises the cost.
Materials
Four families, and the grade is yours to name
Aluminium
Light, fast to cut and dimensionally stable — the default for housings, brackets, fixtures and prototype hardware.
Steel and stainless
Where strength, wear or corrosion resistance decides the part: shafts, mounts, tooling and anything that has to survive a wash-down.
Copper alloys
Chosen for thermal and electrical conductivity — heat sinks, electrodes, RF and microwave hardware, bronze and brass bearing parts.
Engineering plastics
Machined rather than printed when the part needs an isotropic material, a sealing face, or a surface that has to stay flat.
The exact grade is a free-text field on the request form, not a dropdown. If your drawing says 7075-T6, 1.4404 or PEEK, write it — we quote against what you specify rather than the nearest thing on a list.
How the work is placed
CNC parts are machined by vetted partner workshops under our responsibility: we quote the job, check the parts on arrival and ship them ourselves.
How it works
From file to shipment
- 01
Upload
Send your STEP, STP, STL or OBJ file, name the material and grade, and state the tolerances that matter.
- 02
Quote
An engineer reviews the geometry for manufacturability and sends a fixed-price offer with a lead time.
- 03
Machine
Once you accept and pay, the part is programmed, cut and inspected against the features you specified.
- 04
Ship
Finished parts are packed and shipped with tracking, to the address you give at acceptance.
Questions
CNC machining — frequently asked questions
Can you machine a single piece?
Yes. Batch size: from 1 piece. One-offs, replacement parts and prototypes are the core of what we machine.
What tolerances can you hold?
±0.05 mm guaranteed, ±0.01 mm typical. Tighter tolerances are possible with additional finishing on request — this raises the cost.
Do you do CNC milling and CNC turning?
Both. Milling envelope up to 1500 × 500 × 250 mm; turning Ø40 mm standard, Ø80 mm on request, up to 200 mm in length.
Which materials can you machine?
Aluminium, steel and stainless, copper alloys and engineering plastics. The grade is a free-text field on the request form — if your drawing says 7075-T6, 1.4404 or PEEK, write it and we quote against exactly that.
Can you work from a 2D drawing?
Yes — a drawing with tolerances is welcome. A STEP file alongside it speeds up quoting.
How fast can you deliver?
Typical lead time is 5–7 working days for small quantities, plus tracked EU shipping. State a hard deadline in the request and the quote will address it explicitly.
Who machines the parts?
Vetted partner workshops, under our responsibility: we engineer the quote, inspect every part on arrival and ship it ourselves. You deal with one counterparty — us.
Have a drawing with a tolerance on it?
Upload the model, name the grade, and get a fixed-price offer from an engineer rather than a calculator.
