04 / DRILLING & MACHINING
Drilling and machining for custom metal components. From hole patterns to mating features, start with your drawing and build the connection around your project.
01 / BUILT AROUND THE CONNECTION
Hole positions, fastener details and mating surfaces all influence how a component fits into the finished assembly. We review these features alongside your material, dimensions and fabrication requirements.
Whether you need a standalone part or machining as part of a wider fabrication package, share the complete drawing so the cutting, forming, welding and machining stages can be considered together.
02 / WHAT WE DO
Tell us how the part needs to locate, fasten or interface. The suitable process is reviewed against your drawing.
Specify the holes that locate components and connect the assembly, including their relationship to edges and reference points.
Bring the features that affect fit and function into the brief, so the machining approach can be assessed before production.
Consider machining within the full fabrication sequence, with attention to the features that matter at assembly.
Process availability, material suitability, achievable tolerances, part size and inspection scope are confirmed during quotation.
03 / WHAT TO INCLUDE
A dimensioned drawing is the best starting point. If you have a sample or an early concept, send the information available and identify what still needs to be resolved.
Share your PDF drawing and any available CAD files. Include dimensions, units, revision and reference points.
Identify the material grade, thickness or stock size, overall dimensions and whether material is supplied.
Mark hole diameters, threads, hole depths, positional requirements, mating surfaces and any required tolerances.
State the number of parts, repeat-batch requirements, edge treatment and any coating or surface finish.
Include your Australian delivery location, target date and any inspection records or material documentation needed.
04 / HOW YOUR PROJECT MOVES FORWARD
Share the part details, quantity, intended use and delivery requirements.
Clarify materials, critical features, suitable processes and the quotation scope.
Confirm the quote and drawing revision before work proceeds to the agreed scope.
Complete the agreed checks and coordinate packing, assembly or delivery.
05 / PROJECT APPLICATIONS
Base plates, splice plates and connection brackets with drawing-defined fixing details.
Mounting plates, supports and component interfaces that need to align with surrounding equipment.
Project-specific components that combine drilling or machining with cutting, bending and welding.
06 / BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR ENQUIRY
Send a sketch, photographs of the part, key dimensions or details of a sample. We can review the available information and identify what needs to be confirmed before a quotation or production.
Provide the exact material grade and mark the dimensions that are critical to fit or function. Material suitability and achievable tolerances depend on the part and process, and are confirmed during quotation.
Include the complete assembly requirements in your enquiry. Cutting, bending, welding, machining and assembly can then be reviewed as a coordinated fabrication scope.
Yes — send the quantity you require and indicate whether future batches are expected. Production suitability, pricing and timing are reviewed for each project.
Email your drawings and supporting files, or use our project enquiry form for an initial brief. Include your delivery postcode and target date; the proposed schedule is confirmed with the quotation.
07 / LET'S REVIEW YOUR PROJECT
Send the part drawing, material, quantity and delivery location. Highlight the details that matter most to fit and function.
