Free Machinist
Quote Template
Stop letting high-precision jobs slip through your fingers because of amateur quotes that fail to secure the upfront deposit your shop deserves.
Conversion Tip
Include a clause stating that production lead times only commence once the deposit has cleared and final CAD/technical drawings are signed off.
Why use a fixed quote?
Stop haggling over email. As a Machinist, a formal quote locks in your scope and allows you to demand a deposit before you start working.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the industry standard deposit for custom machining projects?
Most shops require a 50% upfront deposit to cover raw material costs and secure shop floor time before the spindle starts turning.
How do I handle clients who change blueprints after the quote is signed?
Specify in your quote that any deviation from the original CAD file constitutes a Change Order, which will be billed at an additional hourly shop rate.
Should I include shipping costs in my initial quote?
Yes, always list shipping and specialized crating as a separate line item to ensure you aren't eating the cost of heavy freight or logistics.
