Where a turned part gets expensive.
The bar.
Diameter, part-off length and remnant set the material cost.
Slender shafts.
A long, slender shaft often needs a tailstock or a steady rest.
The second side.
Reclamping in soft jaws takes time. A sub-spindle often saves a setup.
After the estimate comes the measured time.
Underneath Blake sits Subduxion’s manufacturing world model: how a part, its requirements, your machines and your team’s decisions fit together. It estimates the machining time first; the next steps put the measured time beside it.
- Next: the cycle time from the CAM program beside the estimated time.
- Then the machine’s hours per order, beside the estimate.
- Every next estimate then starts from what was actually made.
Frequently asked questions
How does Blake estimate a turned part?
Blake puts bar stock, turning time, setup and programming on separate lines, per part and per batch, at your own lathes and rates. Outsourced hardening or plating gets its own line at your supplier’s rate.
Does Blake take tolerances and threads from the drawing?
Yes. On a turned part, above all the fits on the diameters, the threads and the roughness of the running faces. Blake reads them from the PDF drawing and places them as proposals beside the turned part’s STEP model. You confirm or correct them.
Does Blake use our own bar prices?
Yes. Blake uses your own purchase prices for bar and other stock, with source and price history. ECB, Eurostat and World Bank references sit beside them, with source and date. They never replace your purchase price.
How do I compare a repeat order with the last estimate?
Blake puts the repeat part beside its last priced estimate, so you see what has changed since the last price before you quote again.
What does a turned part cost in a larger batch?
The quantity breaks show the cost per part at every quantity. Setup and programming spread over the batch; bar, turning time and finishing stay the same per part.
