What people say
“We had a wagon stood down for one pin. It was drawn up from the worn sample and back on site the next afternoon.”
“Three shops told us it was too small a job to bother with. This one just got on and made it.”

FAQ
Common questions
Demo answers
What files can I send?
PDF drawings, STEP and DXF files all work. A hand sketch with dimensions or a photo of the part beside a tape measure is fine too.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One-off parts are normal here, and batches up to about 200 are run in the same way.
How fast can you turn a part around?
Urgent breakdown work can be ready from 24 hours, depending on material and size. You are told the real date when you get the price.
Can you make a part with no drawing?
Yes. Send the worn or broken part, or good photos with measurements, and it can be drawn up and made.
Do you supply the material?
Normally yes. If you have material you want used, say so when you ask for the quote.
Got a part to make or a breakdown to fix?
Send the drawing, or just call. You get a straight answer on price and timing.
