Manufacturing notes

Welding moves material; align datums and post-weld machining when precision must be recovered.

Pick finishes for corrosion, wear, and cosmetics; cite standards and watch dimensional build-up.

Volume, tooling NRE, and change frequency decide stamping vs CNC; hybrids are common.

Match anodize type to wear vs cosmetics; plan masking and dimensional stack for thick coatings.

Match deburr notes to sealing, safety, and cosmetic requirements—avoid vague hand-waving.

Clarify thread class, depth, and blind-hole drill depth to avoid scrap and rework.

Tool radius defines pocket corners; relax radii where possible to save cost and improve finish.

6061 balances machinability and corrosion; 7075 trades strength for care in finish and joining.

Title block, datums, and justified critical tolerances drive realistic CNC pricing.
