CNC Machining Drawing Checklist

A practical checklist for submitting CNC milling, turning, EDM, grinding, finishing, and prototype machining requests with the details Superior needs to review the work.

Planning guidanceNo job too big or too small

Start with the print or file

A clear drawing, PDF, STEP file, DXF, DWG, sketch, or sample gives Superior a starting point. Critical dimensions, tolerances, thread notes, finish expectations, and material callouts should be included whenever possible.

For replacement parts, photos and notes about how the part fits into the assembly can help define the machining path.

Identify what matters most

Not every dimension has the same importance. Mark any features that affect fit, alignment, safety, sealing, movement, or inspection. This helps the shop focus attention where it matters most.

Quantity, deadline, finishing needs, and marking requirements should be included with the quote request.

Include marking details when needed

If the part needs an engraved number, stamped mark, serial area, logo, or traceability code, include that information with the machining request.

Planning identification early can avoid problems with mark location, surface finish, and readability.
