Pricing and configuration, whether a particular job is even a job for the M3, a sample you would rather have welded than described, or what happens after delivery — all of it starts here.
Fill in what you know. The fields below exist because they change the answer — not to qualify you.
Say so in the message and it goes straight to the right kind of reply.
Not sure the M3 is the right class of machine at all?
See what the M3 isThis is the only part of contacting us that actually decides the quality of the reply. It takes a couple of extra sentences, and it removes several rounds of questions.
Almost every question we receive is answerable. What slows it down is that the message describes a trade rather than a job. "I run a repair shop" says nothing about the metal currently in your hand, so the first reply has to be a question, and the real conversation starts several messages later than it needed to.
Skip the detail and you get the brochure reply — and you are no closer to knowing about your own work:
We start at the joint and move outward: what it has to hold, what sits close enough to the work area to matter, and how often the job repeats. The machine configuration is the last thing discussed, because it is a consequence of your description rather than the opening move.
Nothing here needs measuring. Answer what you know and say where you do not — a blank is information too.
Some jobs resist description — an unknown alloy, an unmarked stone, a repair somebody else already attempted. Do not spend a week writing it up. Let it be tested rather than argued about, and if the result says the M3 is not the right machine for that work, you will hear that too.
For stone-set pieces, photographs come first: gem species, treatment, setting structure, distance from the working area and heat sensitivity all have to be assessed before anyone talks about parameters. How set stones are assessed
