Customer Reviews.
Max G.
When I ordered a couple of parts for a custom project I was greatly satisfied by the speed and quality of my order.
Michael P.
These guys are fantastic, lightning quick service and always exactly what we need. Turn around time for simple cut and bend has been just a few days for us and pretty cost competitive.
Geoff D.
Ordered for our FTC team… Cut 1/8” aluminum parts came out better than expected, and faster than expected. At roughly half the cost!

Frequently Asked Questions.
Get your questions answered, if you can't find something you're looking for, check out our resource center.
What is the standard lead-time for the Hardware Service?
Parts with hardware insertion are typically shipped within 2-3 business days. The shipping date provided during checkout is accurate and includes all extra services.
Is deburring included in the price?
Yes! Deburring is automatically included in our standard service at no additional cost. We use a combination of machines and hand tools to remove burrs from your parts, ensuring they are smooth, clean, and ready for use. Our team is dedicated to shipping you the highest quality parts possible.
Can I opt out of deburring for faster delivery?
Yes, if you need your parts faster, you can opt for a non-deburred finish to reduce lead time. However, we recommend deburring for most projects to ensure the best results and safe handling.

PEM hardware is versatile and can be used on most types of metal, including aluminum, stainless steel, and steel. Our configurator ensures your parts are compatible with the right PEM hardware.
