1. Website use and acceptable conduct
This website is provided for people seeking CNC milling, turning and related machining support from PME CNC Machining in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal. You may browse the site, read service information, and submit an enquiry through the contact form for legitimate business purposes. You must not misuse the website, interfere with its operation, or attempt unauthorised access to any part of the site or its systems.
When using the enquiry form, you agree to provide accurate and current information. If you send drawings, dimensions, material notes, or tolerance requirements, you remain responsible for the accuracy of the information supplied. PME CNC Machining may rely on the details you provide when reviewing a job request, planning a batch, or checking whether a part can be produced to specification.
- Do not submit false, misleading or incomplete project information.
- Do not upload content that is unlawful, harmful or infringing on another party’s rights.
- Do not use automated tools to scrape or interfere with site content without written permission.
2. Service information and job enquiries
The website describes general machining services, including drawing review, material selection, prototype planning, batch planning, tolerance guidance, part optimisation, sample part remake, assembly fit checks, inspection reporting, repeat order support, delivery coordination and drawing updates. These descriptions are intended to help customers understand the type of work PME CNC Machining undertakes for small batch production, but they are not a binding offer to accept every project.
Any response to an enquiry depends on the part geometry, material, quantity, lead time, inspection requirements and the suitability of the work for the job shop in Pinetown. Project discussions may cover CNC milling, turning, finishing needs, and practical factors such as coastal humidity, transport between Durban and Johannesburg, or production timing during load-shedding. Final acceptance of work remains at the discretion of PME CNC Machining.
3. Drawings, tolerances and material choices
Machining work depends on the clarity of the drawing and the suitability of the selected material. In practice, steel, aluminium, stainless steel, brass and engineering plastics may all behave differently during milling or turning, and the tolerances achievable on a part depend on the design, size, quantity, finish and inspection method required. PME CNC Machining may discuss likely risks, but it does not guarantee a specific tolerance outcome unless that requirement has been formally agreed for the job in writing.
If a drawing is unclear or appears inconsistent, PME CNC Machining may request clarification before production begins. This may include questions about fit, hole size, surface finish, thread requirements or how the component will be used in assembly. Where useful, the team may suggest a drawing update or part optimisation so the job can be made more efficiently and with less rework.
- Client supplied drawings remain the basis of the quotation and manufacture unless amended in writing.
- Material substitutions are only made after confirmation from the client.
- Inspection reporting reflects the checks carried out on the agreed sample or batch.
4. Intellectual property and site content
All text, layout, images, graphics and other content on this website are owned by or licensed to PME CNC Machining or the site operator Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd unless otherwise stated. You may view the content for your own business use, but you may not copy, republish, modify or distribute it without prior written permission. Drawing files, job notes and related production information submitted by a customer remain the property of the customer or the rightful rights holder, subject to any agreed manufacturing use.
If you provide a drawing or technical file, you confirm that you have the right to share it for quoting and production purposes. PME CNC Machining accepts no responsibility for disputes arising from unauthorised use of third party material supplied by a client.
5. Liability, availability and operational limits
The website is provided on an as available basis. PME CNC Machining takes reasonable care to keep the information current, but it may change service details, job process notes or regional coverage without notice. Because machining work is affected by material availability, machine time, inspection requirements and power interruptions, responses to enquiries and turnaround times can vary from one project to another.
To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, PME CNC Machining and Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd will not be liable for indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of production, or any delay caused by factors outside their reasonable control. This includes transport delays, supplier shortages, municipal interruptions, load-shedding, and errors in information provided by the customer. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
- Website information is general and may not suit every application.
- Technical decisions should be confirmed against the actual job requirements.
- Users remain responsible for their own use of the site and any action taken on the basis of it.
