For buyers and for shops
OEM buyers with a full supplier and job shops with more work than spindle time both send overflow. Say which you are in the RFQ.
Human-routed parts RFQs · approved New England job shops
Overflow machining: when your usual shop is full
Your regular supplier is booked, a machine is down, or a job landed that is outside the usual range. Send the overflow RFQ here. We look for approved New England job shops whose process and capacity fit, so you are not cold-calling shops one by one.
- A person reads every RFQ
- Approved shops only
- The shop quotes you directly
Why send it here
Same print, same requirements
Send the same drawing package your usual supplier works from, including inspection and paperwork requirements, so the quote is apples to apples.
Honest fit check
If no approved shop fits the process, material, or date you need, we tell you quickly rather than leaving you waiting.
How it works
1. Send the RFQ
Drawing, quantity, material, tolerances, and due date. Missing information gets a direct question back.
2. We match it
A person routes it only to approved job shops that fit the process, material, and quantity.
3. The shop quotes you
Price and lead time come straight from the shop. We never promise either on its behalf.
Not a parts job? Scrap solids (solids only, no chips or turnings) go to machineshopscrap.com/solids, used machines and tooling to usedcnctools.com, leftover bar stock from a canceled job to machineshopscrap.com, and inspection work to aiinspectiontools.com.
FAQ
I run a shop. Can I send my overflow work?
Yes. Shops send overflow when they are at capacity or a job is outside their equipment. Tell us whether you need the receiving shop to work under your name or quote your customer directly.
Can you guarantee a shop will meet my date?
No. We never promise delivery dates. Include your real need-by date and the shop will tell you in its quote whether it can meet it.
Is my drawing kept private?
Your RFQ goes only to the shops we route it to, not to an open bid board. If you need an NDA in place before drawings are shared, say so in your RFQ.
Ready to send it?
One RFQ, routed by a person to shops that fit.
