Independent · Irish · Buyer-first
Plain-English Irish CNC research hub for buyers preparing a machining enquiry. Use the directory as a discovery list, then verify the process, material, size, inspection and quality requirements directly with each shop before sharing files or placing work.
This site is a buyer-preparation layer. It explains questions to resolve before requesting a quote and separates directory discovery from current supplier verification.
Use the directory to find first-party supplier websites. No current capacity, inventory, certification, service or availability is asserted here; confirm every requirement directly and retain the supplier's written response. See the verification directory →
The questions people actually ask before they call a CNC shop: milling vs turning, aluminium vs stainless, CAD file prep, tolerances, finish, cost drivers and how to choose a supplier. See the guides →
Before you send a brief, collect the details shops need: material, process, quantity, tolerances, finish, deadline, inspection needs and drawings. The quote path helps structure that request without promising supplier response. Prepare a quote request →
Location pages are research starting points. Verify the operating address, service area, process and current availability from the supplier's own current material.
Sector pages list questions that may appear in a buyer's specification. The applicable material, tolerance, inspection, quality-system and regulatory requirements must come from the drawing, contract and responsible technical or compliance owner.
Questions for drawings, material, wear interfaces, replacement-part authority, machinery safety and supplier evidence.
