What does Bit Shop Do?

Bit Shop has two primary areas of production.

a) Our original business has been in the service of Printed Circuit manufacturing shops for outside drilling, routing and scoring fabrication services. We offer quick turn prototype as well as mass drilling of pc boards, multilayers and double sided panels. Typical quantities are 4 to 36 pieces same day and quite large quantities with lead times up to 1–3 days.

We have streamlined the process by writing our own software to integrate the incoming data processes to facilitate quick, easy transmission of knowledge from the customer to the CNC drilling room, with no room for error. The result is a fast, convenient and easy to use process for producing your product.

b) Our 2nd area of production is in the machining to specification of all types of engineered plastics including G-10, Ultem® , Noryl® , Delrin®, UHMW.Acrylic/Lexan®, Nylon, Delrin and others too numerous to mention.
