Part Testing & Evaluation
C&M Topline offers part testing and evaluation at no charge to customers interested in purchasing a tumbling machine. Send us your test parts we will send you back sample finished parts with a recommendation report. The report will include the media we recommend, compounds, run times, parts per load and the machine we used
Turnaround time is usually Two to Three Weeks. We are often very busy with test part evaluations and so turnaround time will vary. We operate the part testing machines on a first come first served basis. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Please send two to five test parts (more are not necessary and will be left un finished when returned) if possible and parts that are a true representation of average pre-finish quality. This is important so that our technicians can evaluate real parts that will be finished in your shop on a regular basis and not your best parts that may need less processing.
