Choosing a Machine Shop for Special Fasteners and Machined Components
Occasionally we hear from customers that they are passing on quoting "specials" because they are not confident in their ability to properly identify what their customer needs. Many of our customers do not realize they are dealing with a special until they send an RFQ to their standard supply sources and all of them end up no quoting.
To Print Special - Penta Head Bolt
Stainless Steel Penta Head Bolts are readily available up to 1/2" diameter, but when a customer needed a short run of a 5/8" x 3 3/4" Stainless Steel Penta Head Bolt for their customer, they turned to Earnest Engineering & Manufacturing.
Case study: M64 Screw Skate
To Print Special - M64 Screw Skate
The M64 Screw Skate is one example of how Earnest Engineering & Manufacturing helps our customers solve their most complex fastener needs. The team sourced the raw materials, machined the part to spec and oversaw the Black Oxide coating required. What made this an exceptional experience was the care provided in shipping the product to ensure the threads were not damaged in transit and all of the services provided were billed on a single purchase order. Saving the customer time in completing additional paperwork.
