How it works for shops

  1. Register

    Tell us your machines, bar capacity and the brass grades you run.

  2. Get previews

    We send RFQ previews that match what you cut and the quantities you take.

  3. Take the lead

    Pay only for the requests you want to quote.

  4. Quote directly

    You get the buyer's contact and files and deal with them yourself.

Who qualifies

We keep the list short so buyers get serious quotes and each shop gets requests it can win.

  • Brass is normal workYou run C360 or C385 often enough to quote a threaded turned part without guessing.
  • Threads and gaugingYou cut NPT, BSPT and metric threads and check them with gauges rather than by eye.
  • Honest on lead-freeYou say plainly whether you have actually shipped C69300 or bismuth brass, and whether you can supply certificates.
  • Response timeYou reply to buyers within 48 hours.
  • ConfidentialityYou sign an NDA when the buyer asks for one.
  • Honest quotingYou decline parts you cannot hold rather than quote and miss.

Questions shops ask

Is one RFQ sold to many shops?

No. Each RFQ goes to 3 shops at most, and only to shops whose machines, materials and part size fit the request.

How much does a lead cost?

The price sits on every preview, before you decide. It moves with part complexity and order size. You pay only for the leads you take.

What if a lead is not what the preview described?

Tell us within seven days and we check it against the preview we sent you. Wrong contact details or a part that is clearly not what the preview described are settled with you directly while we write the exact remedy into the shop terms.

Do you only send high volume turned work?

No. Brass buyers on this site range from 50 piece prototype runs to repeat annual releases in the tens of thousands. You tell us the quantities you take and we stop sending previews outside that band.

Do I need to run lead-free grades?

No, but say plainly whether you do. Plumbing and gas buyers ask for C69300 or a bismuth brass with a mill certificate, and sending them a shop that only runs C360 wastes everybody a week.
