New Part Setup
We analyze your print, select tooling, write or review your program, and verify the first article — so your machinists are not troubleshooting from scratch.
We specialize in the full lifecycle of machine shop setup — from first article to production-ready. Every engagement is hands-on, not advisory.
We analyze your print, select tooling, write or review your program, and verify the first article — so your machinists are not troubleshooting from scratch.
We audit existing setups for wasted motion, suboptimal feeds and speeds, redundant operations, and fixturing inefficiencies — then make the changes with you.
Custom and modular fixturing solutions designed for repeatability, fast changeover, and consistent tolerance on complex geometries.
We create clear, photo-referenced setup sheets your operators can follow without calling the engineer — reducing errors and onboarding time.
Structured on-machine training focused on setup efficiency, tool management, and reading GD&T — practical skills that stick.
We help transition jobs from first article to repeatable production with documented processes, operator checks, and stable handoff routines.
Every project follows a defined scope with a clear end state. You will know exactly what we are doing and when we are done.
We spend a day on your floor reviewing current setups, your job mix, equipment, and where time and quality are being lost.
We discuss scope, timeline, and cost upfront. No ambiguity, No running the clock. No surprises from day 1.
We work beside your team on your machines. Changes are made, tested, and documented in real time.
You receive complete setup documentation and a follow-up check. If something drifts, we help correct it.
Our consultants are former setup machinists with time in job shops, aerospace, and production environments.
We touch the machines, adjust the offsets, and run the programs ourselves.
We document everything and train your people as we work, so you can handle similar setups independently next time.
Solutions are designed for your actual equipment, staff, job mix, and deadline pressure.
We work beside your team on real setups, so your operators learn by doing, not by watching.
Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Hurco, and manual turning and milling.
Support can be structured from sunrise till sunset.
