Quality and supervision

We combine student learning with professional oversight to protect your project and our training outcomes.

Professional supervision

Every job is overseen by an experianced machinist who reviews setup and final dimensions.

First article checks

We pause production until the first part meets spec and is approved by our supervisor.

Rework policy

If we miss a spec, we rework or remake at no cost and log the lesson in our training notes.

First article checks

We document the first completed part with measurements and photos before continuing production. This protects your tolerances and provides a learning record for students.
