It may be tempting to assume a company advertising CNC machining services would provide precision work. However, true precision CNC machining is only possible with the right equipment, experienced engineers and operators, and the implementation of quality control systems throughout the shop.
Rather than choosing a precision CNC machining service based solely on an online website or an advertisement, a better option is to take a few minutes and do some research to compare different companies and different services offered. Consider asking for industry referrals and also take the time to verify information provided on websites through phone calls or a quick email.
Able to Do the Job
A key factor for a single part or component through to a large volume order for an Original Equipment Manufacturer is the ability of the machining company to complete the work to your desired specifications and scheduling.
Top companies are experienced in working with the various standards required in various industries and have the contract manufacturing expertise to ensure both quality control as well as on-time delivery.
A good guideline is to look at the years in business of the provider. When a company offering precision CNC machining has been in business for decades, it is a strong indicator of the expertise, experience, and quality produced by the company.
In-House Not Subcontracted
Many companies offer a range of services with their CNC machining. This is a great way to save on the time of finding multiple service companies as well as limiting logistics issues for the order.
It is essential to verify the company handling the contract manufacturing is completing the work in-house. They should have the facility, equipment, and expertise in close tolerance work to ensure all aspects of the precision machining, as well as the additional services requested, can be completed to specifications.
