General Info

Everyone wants the lowest possible cost. Saving time and money by avoiding mistakes are some of the most valuable savings available. Patriot Machine provides top notch service in the form of engineering assistance and expertise that will enable you to avoid costly errors in the prototype phase. Frequently, Patriot Machine is able to make recommendations that make the difference between a happy customer and a disaster. As an example, a customer recently presented a specification that called for 303 stainless to be welded during final assembly. The customer was advised of the non-weldability of 303 with a recommendation for 304 or 316. In a worst case scenario the customer could've been charged for the wrong parts, after sending to the welder. Critical error, start over. In addition to losing money, the customer's pharmaceutical strain gauge prototype would've been seriously delayed. Instead of a disaster, this project resulted in a happy customer because of Patriot Machine's experience and routine attention to detail. Tolerance studies, in which Patriot Machine reviews a print to verify distances, give customers added assurance of project success. In another example, Patriot Machine received a spec with an edge break not drawn on the print. Instead of implementing, the spec was confirmed. This resulted in moving forward with the job satisfactorily. Tolerance analysis is a review of dimensional adjustments to meet best fit and finish for assembly. Having the experience to ask, "what does the customer really want, " produces recommendations that lead to CNC machined parts that work the first time. In precision CNC machining, perfectionism is a good thing. The focus of Patriot Machine is to produce parts that meet or exceed specs at the lowest possible cost, and doing whatever it takes to make a customer happy. A track record of solving difficult production issues in the prototype phase is one of many good reasons for choosing Patriot Machine and Engineering
