Maximum diameter and overall length decide which Swiss machines can run the part. Put both in the RFQ.

Swiss turning quotes for small, precise turned parts
Swiss-type turning suits long, slender, or small-diameter parts made in volume, such as pins, shafts, and medical and electronic components. Not every shop runs Swiss machines, so we route these RFQs only to approved New England shops that do and that fit your part.
- A person reads every RFQ
- Approved shops only
- The shop quotes you directly
Why send it here
Volume matters
Swiss work is usually quoted with setup in mind. Annual or repeat volume helps the shop give you a realistic quote.
Not a Swiss part?
If a conventional lathe or mill-turn is the better fit, the shop may say so, and we can route it that way instead.
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 sure your part needs Swiss? Read Swiss vs conventional turning first. Not a parts job? Scrap solids (solids only, no chips or turnings) go to machineshopscrap.com/solids, used machines and tooling to usedcnctools.com, and inspection work to aiinspectiontools.com.
FAQ
What parts are a good fit for Swiss turning?
Generally small-diameter, long, or slender turned parts with tight features, often in medium to high quantities. The quoting shop makes the final call on process.
What should I include in a Swiss RFQ?
Drawing and model, material, maximum diameter, overall length, quantity and expected volume, finish, and need-by date.
Do you guarantee a Swiss shop will quote?
No. If we cannot find an approved shop with Swiss capacity that fits, we will tell you instead of sending it somewhere it does not belong.
Ready to send it?
