Our machining division runs CNC machining centers for 3-axis and 4-axis work on parts from small brackets to large plates.
| Capability | Detail | Typical Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| 3-axis milling | Pockets, faces, slots, drilled and tapped holes | ±0.002" (±0.05mm) |
| 4-axis work | Indexed and continuous rotary machining | ±0.003" |
| Part size | Up to 40" x 20" x 20" envelope | — |
| Surface finish | As-machined to 32 Ra, optional finer | 32 Ra standard |
Materials We Machine
| Material | Typical Grades | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | 6061-T6, 5052, 7075 | Fastest, most economical option |
| Mild Steel | 1018, A36, 12L14 | Cost-effective for strength |
| Stainless | 303, 304, 316 | 303 is the free-machining choice |
| Brass & Copper | 360, 110 | Electrical and decorative parts |
| Plastics | Delrin, Nylon, HDPE, PTFE | Bushings, wear parts, insulators |
What CNC Milling Costs
Milling is quoted by the hour plus material. Typical Ontario job-shop rates for CNC milling run $85–$120/hr — your exact rate is confirmed on your quote.
- Material: Weight × rate/lb × 1.30 markup (aluminum starts around $2.50/lb, mild steel $0.95/lb)
- Machine time: Estimated from your geometry — feature count, tolerances, and tool changes drive the time
- Setup: $30 flat per job
- Typical range: Simple aluminum bracket $60–150 each. Production runs amortize setup and get cheaper per piece.

Milling Plus Everything Else
Most milled parts don't live alone — they get welded into assemblies, anodized, or paired with laser-cut plates. We quote the whole job: mill, laser, bend, weld, finish. One quote, one point of contact.
Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats do you accept for CNC milling?
STEP is ideal for machined parts. DXF, PDF drawings, and photos with a scale reference also work. Our AI analyzes the geometry for an instant estimate.
What tolerances can you hold?
Standard machining tolerance is ±0.002" (±0.05mm). We hold tighter where the drawing calls for it — the AI pricing reflects tighter tolerances in the estimate.
Do you do one-off parts or prototypes?
Yes — single parts and prototypes are quoted the same way as production runs. No minimum order, and setup is a flat $30.
How does this compare to Xometry or a large online machine shop?
Big online platforms quote your part and then job it out to whichever shop is cheapest that day. Here the machinist confirms your quote, you know who's cutting it, and you're supporting an Ontario shop paying in CAD.
