Specify the basic dimensions in decimal inches of the custom part to be machined, and the quantity for each
type of feature such as surfaces and holes. Note that dimensions are only required in the blue fields at
the top. Other fields require just the quantity for each feature (such as the number of surfaces, holes, etc),
not their size. The sample part displayed at right shows examples of most of the features. Select a tubular
aluminum stock if possible since it is substantially less costly than the default solid stock.
Also specify the number of external and internal threading if any, and optionally, the surface finish
desired and any tolerance tighter than the standard 0.01". Then select the material you want your part
made of, and finally click Estimate Cost at the bottom of the page.
Only the data applicable to your part need to be entered. Any omitted fields
will simply default to NONE or remain unselected.
