Material
304 or 316 stainless steel depending on corrosion resistance and buyer requirements.

Project Snapshot
Process
CNC turning with secondary milling, drilling, threading or polishing as needed.
Critical features
Fitted diameters, shoulder position, thread length, runout and surface finish.
Order type
Prototype shaft samples followed by small repeat batches for equipment assemblies.
Machining Challenge
The shaft parts included fitted diameters and threaded areas used in an assembly. Stainless steel machining risk came from tool wear, heat, burrs and surface finish requirements around shoulders and threads.
Result and RFQ Lesson
The buyer could validate shaft fit in the assembly before repeating the order. The key RFQ lesson was to mark fitted diameters, thread standards and runout requirements clearly on the 2D drawing.
Manufacturing Review
- Confirmed material grade and whether certificates were required before quotation.
- Reviewed fitted diameters, thread standard, shoulder geometry and surface finish notes.
- Planned turning operations to protect concentricity and reduce burr risk near grooves and threads.
- Discussed passivation or polishing before shipment when corrosion resistance or appearance mattered.
Inspection Focus
- Measured critical diameters and shoulder locations.
- Checked thread fit according to drawing requirements.
- Reviewed runout or concentricity where marked as function-critical.
- Inspected burrs, edges and surface finish before packing.
