How to hire a machine shop
What to have ready before you request quotes
Machining quotes come together fastest from real files. Helpful to share: a 3D CAD model (STEP or Parasolid) and a dimensioned 2D drawing with tolerances, the material and any heat-treat or plating spec, the quantity (and whether this is a prototype or an ongoing part), and the finish. Note any critical features, GD&T callouts, or inspection requirements. Even a STEP file and a print get you real numbers instead of ballparks.
Tolerances, GD&T, and inspection
Call out only the tolerances you need. Standard machining holds roughly plus or minus 0.005 in without special effort, and every tightened tolerance, flatness, position, or surface-finish callout adds cost and inspection time. If a feature is critical, say so and specify the check: dimensional report, first-article inspection (FAI), or full CMM. Shops with a documented quality system (ISO 9001, AS9100 for aerospace) can provide certs, material traceability, and the inspection data regulated programs require.
Choosing material and finish
Material drives both cost and machinability. Aluminum (6061, 7075) machines fast and suits most brackets and housings; stainless (303, 304, 316) and steel add strength and corrosion resistance at higher cost; titanium and PEEK serve demanding aerospace, medical, and chemical uses. Finish is a separate decision: as-machined, bead blast, anodize, black oxide, passivation, or plating. Match the shop to the work, a Swiss shop running small turned parts is a different operation than a 5-axis shop cutting complex prismatic housings.
What it costs and how long it takes
Machined parts are quoted per part, driven by setup, cycle time, material, and quantity, so unit price drops as volume rises. Prototypes commonly ship in one to three weeks; production lead times depend on quantity, finishing, and inspection scope. Posting your part on OpenSpindle returns competing quotes from qualified shops so you can compare price, lead time, and quality capability before you release the job.

Different buyers need different things from a machine shop. Here’s how to get the right match.
Trusted reviews of cnc machine shops on OpenSpindle
Absolutely amazing experience! Needed a small pre-machined piece to have some material milled out of it and wasn't sure where to even begin. I researched this place and decided to check it out. Let's just say Waggoner Manufacturing did not disappoint! Virginia and Michael sorted me out and even performed the work I needed done free of charge on my very first visit. I was in shock with the incredible work and customer service. Can't recommend this place enough, thank y'all so very much!
Reviewed Waggoner Manufacturing →Very creative. They can find solutions to any problem. So much experience in the fabrication and welding fields. You will be amazed!
Reviewed Texas CNC Innovations →Michael at Waggoner Manufacturing was amazing. My job was small, trimming an orthotic brace, but he knew exactly how to go about it. He was efficient, knowledgeable about the metal, and did the job quickly while I waited! This company was the right place to go! I'm glad to know you are in Round Rock!
Reviewed Waggoner Manufacturing →Good prices, quick responses and quick turnaround.
Reviewed Waggoner Manufacturing →I've spent my share of time around the CNC world and really appreciate what Miller stands for. A straightforward approach, pride in what they deliver and no smoking mirrors. Nothing in life (and in Machine shops) is perfect... things happen, materials are delayed, parts are stuck at some backlogged 3rd party vendor. That is life. It happens. I can attest (first hand) that the character and integrity of the company and it's leaders is the only thing that will help get you out of a tailspin. Todd and team live the true essence of being a partner, not a vendor. They take great pride in the parts they ship and never compromise on the product they put in the marketplace.
