Datum & Co. focuses primarily on custom one-off work, repair machining, and small-batch projects rather than high-volume production manufacturing.

We are not currently equipped for:

• Large engine block machining

• EDM services

• Injection mold manufacturing

• Oversized heavy industrial machining

• Large hydraulic cylinder rebuilding

• Crane-dependent industrial repairs

• High-volume production CNC work

Custom machining involves far more than machine runtime alone.

Setup, measuring, fixturing, troubleshooting, tooling, repair evaluation, and precision planning are often the most time-intensive parts of a project.

In many one-off repair or fabrication jobs, a significant portion of the labor happens before material is ever cut.

Quotes are based on overall project complexity, required precision, materials, tooling, shop time, and the most effective approach to completing the work properly.

Yes. Our standard shop minimum is $150.

Custom machining and repair work often involves setup, measurement, tooling changes, troubleshooting, and project evaluation before machining begins. The minimum allows us to properly allocate shop time and maintain quality workmanship across all projects.

In many cases, yes. We frequently work on repair-oriented and one-off projects involving obsolete, modified, or difficult-to-source components.

Often, yes. Repairing or modifying an existing component can sometimes be more practical and cost-effective than replacing an entire assembly, especially for older or hard-to-source equipment.

Please include:

• Clear photos

• Approximate dimensions

• Material type (if known)

• Description of the issue

The more information provided, the faster we can evaluate your project.

Yes. Datum & Co. regularly works with contractors, repair facilities, fabrication shops, equipment owners, and commercial customers needing practical machining and repair support.

Most work is performed in-shop. Oversized field-service industrial repair work is outside our current scope.
