[What’s in a price?](https://blog.hone-all.co.uk/cost-vs-quality-in-deep-hole-boring-drilling-cnc-honing) It’s a simple question, and one that often has unexpectedly complicated answers. This is because some things – such as skill, experience, and technical knowledge – are difficult to quantify. Issues such as identifying additional processes are also important. If you’re interested in learning about honest [CNC machining quotes](https://www.hone-all.co.uk/products/cnc-honing/), here are some pointers to help navigate the often murky waters of engineering pricing.

You outsource your [CNC honing](https://www.hone-all.co.uk/cnc-honing-services/) or other machining to a third-party specialist, you need absolute confidence that your machined components will meet exacting specifications, with no deviation from the exceptional quality for which your business is known. Outsourcing honing is a cost-effective and logical decision that reduces your long-term expenses and protects your brand’s reputation for superior products; therefore, it’s vital that your sub-contract partner matches your commitment to quality.

It's common for companies to use third party accountants, solicitors, and IT providers when they don't have teams of experts in-house. However, in recent years, manufacturing companies have realised that they can also benefit from working closely with precision engineering firms to handle parts of their manufacturing process. What advantages could your business gain from using Hone-All's subcontract machining services?

In this article we would like to talk about quotes; specifically, why specialist CNC engineering companies charge what they do. There is a cost versus quality debate in every industry we can think of. The argument possibly goes that the lower the quote, the more corners must need to be cut at the suppliers’ side in order to achieve the price while still returning a reasonable profit. This usually leaves a fairly wide margin for flexibility, but it also means that a race to the bottom towards ever lower prices is rarely beneficial for either customers or suppliers in the long run.

[Manufacturing enterprises](https://blog.hone-all.co.uk/vital-adaptations-the-manufacturing-industry-must-make) within the UK's engineering sector continue to be significant contributors to the economy. Just over one-eighth of the 5.5 million registered enterprises in the UK are in the engineering sector. And yet, in comparison, there are only a handful of companies providing specialist services, and even fewer who carry out all those specialist services in-house.

Drilling deep holes is not simply a matter of using a longer drill.
As hole depth increases, the process becomes far more difficult to control and requires specialist equipment to achieve consistent results. Heat builds quickly, tools are more prone to deflection, and swarf removal becomes increasingly challenging. Without careful control, it is easy for bore straightness, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy to suffer.

If there is one thing that we all want to be sure about when heading into a hospital environment, it is that we are stepping into a world of precision equipment. A review of medical literature shows that even routine procedures are fraught with difficulty. For instance, a typical lumbar puncture has five primary [areas of risk](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0007091217343969), and that is before the quality of the tube begins to even enter the equation. As doctors explain: “what we need to achieve is difficult enough without equipment also being a factor”.
