Identify the intended milled surface
Mark the side face, slot, shoulder, or profile that needs machining and explain how it relates to the part datums. State the required geometry and acceptance criteria on the drawing.
Share material and setup context
Provide the material, current model, drawing revision, quantity, and any workholding or access constraints. Ask the supplier to review the actual geometry before confirming the method.
Define finish and edge requirements
Specify surface finish, edge condition, deburring, and protected areas where required. Separate functional surfaces from cosmetic expectations.
Plan inspection around the feature
Identify the dimensions and surfaces used for acceptance and request measurements or records if needed. Do not infer a tolerance from the process name.
Compare the machining scope
Confirm included operations, finish, inspection, packaging, and delivery assumptions. For the broader service, see CNC milling capabilities and request a part review through the quote page.
