Suitable Batch Quantities for CNC turning 

 

What is a suitable batch quantity for our machine shop?

Typical batch quantities in our machine shop are 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000,1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000. We do not normally find that we manufacture in quantities above those shown because CNC machine tools are not cost effective in this range.

What is the smallest quantity we will manufacture?

We often manufacture quantities from 50 upwards although we will manufacture smaller batches under the following circumstances. We are prepared to supply in quantities as low as 10 off if the requirement is part of an annual call off where the setting up cost can be amortised over the total batch and order cover is given for the complete batch.

Typical Lead Time
