CNC job shop quotes, job travelers and customer email, 14 firms

Summary

A decade of how small precision machine shops win and run work: RFQ threads, quote breakdowns, job travelers with routings and operator notes, and the customer email that follows a late or rejected part. Useful for training agents that estimate setups and cycle times, follow a job across operations and outside processing, and draft customer updates. Work for aerospace and defense customers and any export-controlled job are excluded at the source. People, companies, part numbers and dollar amounts are replaced with consistent placeholders.

Collected to order. We collect it from US companies for your order. Scope, volume and timing are confirmed in writing before you sign.

One record, de-identified. Placeholders such as [PERSON_12] and [COMPANY_4] stay the same across the whole dataset, so threads still read correctly.
