Lathe quoting · CNC turning
Quoting software for CNC lathe work
SeekMake reads the turned part from its STEP file and applies your bar prices, cycle time rates, thread and finish options, and quantity breaks.
Lathe work tends to come with a clear set of features: diameters, lengths, threads, grooves and sometimes a knurl or a cross hole. Bar size sets the material cost, and cycle time sets most of the rest. A turning shop quoting by hand repeats that calculation for every request, which is exactly where shared rates and automatic pricing help.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Can my team share one set of rates?
Yes. Rates, materials and margins live in your SeekMake account, so every quote uses the same rules.
Can I edit an automatic quote before sending it?
Yes. You can change prices, add lines, apply a discount or add a note before you send the quote.
Can customers order directly from a quote?
Yes. The customer opens the quote online, accepts it and pays by card, PayPal or bank transfer.
Can the customer choose a thread or finish?
Yes. Thread and finish options can be offered in the widget, each priced from your rates.
Does the bar size needed for the part affect the price?
Yes. SeekMake reads the turned part from the STEP file and applies your bar prices, so the stock the part needs drives the material cost.
Which files can customers upload?
STEP and STL files. The part is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.
How much does SeekMake cost?
There is a free plan to start. Paid plans add more features, lower fees on online orders and priority support.
