What we cut
Practical work for real production needs.
A practical lead-time guide explaining why clean cutting files move faster, why reviewed jobs take longer, and what buyers should send when timing matters.
Start with the part, panel or material you need. Use fast online pricing when the file is cut-ready, or request review when the job needs production input before it can be accepted.
Reviewed quote jobs
Jobs with finishing, supplied material, mixed services or uncertain files need review before production timing is trusted.
Repeat orders
Approved repeat files can be faster when material, revision and quantity are unchanged.
Rush requests
Urgent jobs should state the real deadline and any fixed delivery or install date.
Supplied materials
Customer-supplied sheets can slow timing if condition, grade or suitability needs checking.
Freight and packing
Large, fragile, visible-face or palletised jobs need logistics included in the timing conversation.

Technical guidance
What matters before production starts.
Lead time starts with clean input
The timer cannot be trusted until the file, material, quantity and review status are clear.
Rush work needs approval speed
If the buyer cannot approve quickly or provide missing details, the job cannot stay genuinely urgent.
Repeat jobs are different
Approved files with stable materials and revisions can be easier to schedule than brand-new unclear files.
Freight can be the bottleneck
Packing, courier cutoff, palletisation and fragile faces can matter as much as cutting time.
