Machining Existing Parts
Existing parts are parts that you purchased off the shelf, taken out of a mechanism, etc. You can have eMachineShop perform additional machining on existing parts. For example, you might need to add some holes to an engine component.
To order machining of existing parts:
- Make an approximate model of the existing part in the eMachineShop CAD.
- Include the feature to be machined.
- Use Comments To Machinist to indicate which features are pre-existing; any special requirements; and add "For Quotation Only - Customer to supply parts via UPS".
- Set Job | Settings | General | Quantity to the qty of parts to be supplied.
- Set Job | Material to the closest material to the parts to be supplied.
- Place your order.
- If you approve the cost, ship your parts to eMachineShop marking the box with the job # from the order confirmation email.
