An office interiors company called us up and asked if we could machine a round boiler plate to take a custom heater element. The boiler plate was 500mm in diameter and 25mm thick and required a central hole and an array of bolt holes.
We measured the positions of the bolt holes to find they were pretty random in position and size despite appearing to be evenly spaced. We quoted the job and won the contract. Each hole position was accurately determined and noted. we then drilled the boiler plate to suit. Finally we bored the central hole to clear the heater elements and the job was finished. As the customer had already paid the pro-forma invoice, he collected the job an hour or so later. Start to finish from enquiry to delivery was less than 12 working hours.
