Ordering
CNC Parts with No Minimum Order
One part. Actually just one. That’s fine.
Need exactly one machined part? That’s a normal order here — no minimum quantity and no talking you into ten. Send a 2D PDF or 3D STEP file, get a quote from a real person in 24–48 hours, and your one part gets inspected against the print before it ships, same as a production run.

Why minimums exist everywhere else
No villainy involved — it’s economics. Programming, setup, and first-article checks are fixed costs whether the run is one piece or one thousand. Suppliers built for volume have quoting pipelines, scheduling, and margins tuned to spread those costs across big runs, so a single part breaks their math and they put up a minimum to keep it out.
This operation is shaped differently: small work is the normal work, so quantity one doesn’t need an exception — it just needs a quote.
What one part honestly costs
Straight talk: a quantity of one carries its entire setup, so the per-piece price is higher than the same part at twenty-five. The quote shows that plainly instead of hiding it in a “minimum charge.”
Two practical tips. Ask for 1-and-5 pricing on the same quote — spares added to the same order are usually cheap, and machines that break once tend to break twice. And if the part might recur, keep the revision letter handy; reorders against the same print match the original.
Who actually orders one part
The maintenance manager with a down machine and an obsolete part. The engineer who needs one prototype to answer one question. The builder who needs a single fixture plate. The person hunting one non-standard fastener no distributor will touch. And the garage project that just needs one good billet part — all normal orders, all quoted the same way.
One now, more later
Ordering one part doesn’t close any doors. The print stays valid, and when one becomes twenty, quantity pricing is a quote request away. Plenty of recurring runs here started life as a single nervous test order — which is, frankly, the sensible way to try a new supplier.
Questions
Before you send a job.
01 Is there really no minimum order?
Really. One part is a normal order — quoted in 24–48 hours, made, inspected against your print, and shipped with tracking like any production run.
02 Why does one part cost more per piece than a batch?
Setup is a fixed cost and quantity one carries all of it. That’s arithmetic, not a penalty — and the quote shows it instead of burying it in fees.
03 Is it cheaper to add a spare or two now?
Usually, noticeably — extra pieces on the same order avoid repeating the fixed costs. Ask for 1-and-5 pricing on the same quote and decide with the numbers in front of you.
04 Is any job too small to bother with?
No. A single bushing, one bracket, one odd fastener — if it matters to you, it’s worth quoting. No job too small to take on.
05 Can I order one part to evaluate before committing to a run?
Yes, and it’s encouraged — judge the part, the inspection, and the communication on a one-piece order, then scale when you’re convinced.
