Is Your Part a Good Candidate for Review?

This guide helps screen geometry before an RFQ. It does not approve a process. A verified machine, manufacturing source, material route and inspection plan are still required.

Often a Good Starting Point

• Predominantly round geometry beginning from bar-shaped stock
• Several coaxial diameters, shoulders, grooves or end features
• Features on both ends
• Small threads, flats, slots or cross-holes
• A repeat requirement where process consistency matters

Needs Additional Review

• Heat-treated bearing or press-fit surfaces
• Very slender shafts with strict final straightness
• Thin walls or dimensions that change after installation
• Gear teeth, splines, worms or critical internal bores
• Coating or secondary processing that changes final dimensions
• Assembly, balancing or functional-test requirements

Usually Not a Swiss-Type Starting Point

• Large plate, housing, flange or structural components
• Extensive off-center or multi-face milling
• Parts dominated by precision gear finishing
• Dedicated composite, wrapped or sintered bearing products
• Standard catalog hardware with no clear custom requirement
