Manual Machining FAQs
What part sizes can you handle?
We coordinate machining for parts ranging from 1/4" features to lengths over 36", depending on equipment used in-house or by our partners.
Can you do short-run production?
Yes. Manual machining is ideal for low-quantity production runs, typically fewer than 50 parts.
Is this work performed at your facility?
Some manual machining is performed at our Ontario-based shop, while other jobs are fulfilled through our vetted Canadian partner network.
