What We Are, and How the Matching Works
We match 5-axis drawings with shops that run the machines. We do not own machines, and we do not take a cut of your order.
What this site is
A matching service for 5-axis work, run by people who have quoted and shipped machined parts. You send one RFQ. We read the drawing, decide which shops can actually hold the part, and put it in front of the ones that fit. They quote you directly and you deal with them directly from there.
In one line
We are not a machine shop. We match your drawing with up to 3 shops in our network.
How a shop gets on our list
Six things, all of them checked before a shop sees a single request.
- 5-axis machines actually runningSimultaneous or 3+2 in daily production, not a machine on order and not a subcontract arrangement presented as in house.
- Real photographs of the shopMachines, inspection area, material store and finishing. Stock images end the conversation.
- A complete capability profileMachine list with travels, materials, tolerance held in production, inspection equipment and certifications.
- A reply inside 48 hoursSlow quoting loses buyers, so it disqualifies a shop here.
- Willing to sign an NDABefore the drawing arrives, whenever the buyer asks for one.
- Evidence of export workShipping documents, incoterms and packaging handled before, not for the first time on your order.
How your drawing is handled
We read it first
Process, material, tolerance and finishing tell us which shops can hold the part. If something is missing we ask you, not the shops.
You approve the shortlist
We come back with the shops we would send it to and why. Your drawing goes nowhere until you agree, and an NDA is signed first whenever you ask for one.
Shops quote you directly
Contact details and files reach at most 3 shops. You compare the quotes and order from whichever one you want.
What it costs buyers
Buyers pay nothing, at any point. There is no commission on your order, no markup on the price of the part and no arrangement that pays us more if you choose one shop over another.
How the guides are written
- No invented numbers. If we cannot source a figure, it does not appear.
- We never present a shop's capability as our own.
- No vendor pays to be named, in a guide or anywhere else.
- When we get something wrong we fix it and say what changed.
- Where a claim comes from a standard or a public database, we say which one.
Three ways in
You run 5-axis machines
See each request before you take it and quote the buyer directly.

Do you machine parts yourselves?
No. We do not own machines and we do not run production. We read your drawing, shortlist shops that run the right machines and let them quote you directly.
How many shops will see my drawing?
Up to 3, and only after you agree to the shortlist. The preview a shop sees first carries the part details without your name, company or files.
What does a shop have to show to get listed?
Running 5-axis machines, real photographs of the shop, a complete machine and material profile, a reply inside 48 hours, willingness to sign an NDA and evidence of export work.
Can a shop pay to be ranked first?
No. Matching is done on machines, materials, tolerance and region. There is no paid placement and no ranking to buy.
Do vendors pay to be mentioned in the guides?
No. A material, tool or service is named when it is the honest answer to the technical point. Nobody pays for a mention and we remove one that stops being accurate.
What does it cost buyers?
Buyers pay nothing. There is no commission on your order and no markup on the price of the part.
