FAQ
Questions we hear a lot
If you don't see your question below, call the shop at (208) 417-2322 or send it through the quote form, and Dan will get you a straight answer.
What file formats do you accept?
We work with a range of file formats and match your files to our SolidWorks programming. If you're not sure your file will open cleanly, or you're working from an older format, give us a call before you send anything and we'll make sure we can work with it.
I don't have a CAD drawing — can you still help?
Yes. Bring a sketch, a sample part, or just an idea of what you need, and we'll design it in SolidWorks and take it from concept to a finished part. In-house engineering is a big part of what we do.
Is there a minimum order?
It depends on the project and the materials. We handle both small jobs and full production runs, so there's no single cutoff to work with us. For small walk-in weld repairs, a shop minimum applies to cover setup and time on the floor.
What materials do you work with?
We fabricate structural, sheet, and plate steel, and we cut sheet and plate steel. Working in another metal? Ask us about your project and we'll tell you what we can take on.
How does pricing work?
Pricing depends on the project and the materials involved. We aim for competitive quotes without cutting corners on the work. Tell us about the job — the more detail the better — and we'll put together a number for you.
How long will my job take?
It depends on the work and how full our schedule is at the time. Once we know the scope, we'll give you a realistic timeline along with your quote, so you can plan around a real date instead of a guess.
What industries do you work with?
We work with agriculture, mining, government contracts, and commercial and residential steel. On top of those, we take on general custom work for just about anyone who needs a part built, modified, or repaired in metal.
Where are you located and who do you serve?
Our shop is at 7057 S 5th Ave in Pocatello, Idaho, open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. We serve Pocatello, Eastern Idaho, and the surrounding region.
