What we make — the same way, every reorder.
Catalog parts are engineered once, priced in minutes and shipped on a guaranteed date — and every reorder runs the same Job Packet. Everything else gets a custom quote within two business days. One invoice, one company accountable either way.
Two ways to buy
Catalog
Priced in minutes
Guaranteed ship date, credited if we’re late.
Custom quote
Quoted within 2 business days
Committed ship date, scheduled by our team.
You don’t have to choose. Upload the part and we’ll tell you which it is.
Two ways to buy. One company behind both.
Catalog parts fit our published spec, so the price and the date can be computed. Custom work is quoted by our team. Either way, Praetore makes the part and stands behind it.

Why a real price can come back in minutes.
A published spec
Catalog parts fit a spec we’ve already engineered against, so pricing is a calculation — not an estimator’s afternoon.
Engineering done once
DFM, programming, fixturing and the inspection plan are done centrally and saved as a Job Packet that every reorder reuses.
Batching
Parts that share material and fixturing run in one setup, and the savings are split with you.
What we price in minutes.
Parts inside this spec get a price in minutes and a guaranteed ship date. Anything outside it gets a custom quote.
Processes
Turning, 5-axis, EDM, grinding and welding are quoted as custom work.
- 3-axis vertical milling
- Up to 2 setups per part
- Drilling
- Tapping, form and cut
- Reaming

Outside the catalog? We quote it in two business days.
Our team reviews the part, quotes it with a committed ship date, and runs it through shops we’ve vetted — with the same paperwork and the same accountability.
What we quote
- Turned parts and mill-turn work
- 5-axis and 3+2 work
- EDM and grinding
- Weldments and fabrications
- Assemblies and kitted builds
- Castings and forgings, machined
- Parts larger than the catalog spec
- Materials outside the stock library
We make components for regulated products; we don’t build finished regulated devices.
What we commit to
- Response
- A quote within two business days.
- Ship date
- A committed date, scheduled against a real shop calendar. If it moves, you hear it from us first.
- Paperwork
- Material certs and a dimensional report. FAI to AS9102 on request.
- One counterparty
- One PO, one invoice, one company accountable. You never deal with a shop directly.
Five steps. You do two.
Upload the part and accept the quote. We handle the rest.
- 01
Upload
Send a model and a quantity. Add a drawing if it carries callouts the model doesn’t.
- 02
Check and price
We check the part against the catalog spec. Catalog parts are priced in minutes. For anything else, we name the feature that’s outside and quote it as custom work.
- 03
Choose a date and order
Accept the price and pick Standard or Rush. The date you choose is written into your order.
- 04
Track
Follow real milestones: engineered, verified, routed, in cut, inspected, shipped. If a job moves to another shop, you see it — and the date holds.
- 05
Delivered
Parts arrive with material certs and a dimensional report. FAI on request.

Send us a part
Upload a CAD file. We engineer it once, and every run after — at any shop in the network — is the same part. Catalog parts are priced in minutes; custom work is quoted within two business days.
Run jobs, not quotes
We send American shops programmed, verified jobs. No quoting, no programming, no fees — and you’re paid on delivery.
