FAQ

In Ontario, regulation of engineering practice dates to 1937, when the Professional Engineers Act was amended and the engineering profession was “closed” to non-qualified individuals; that is, licensure was made mandatory for anyone practicing professional engineering. In Ontario, you require a license if:

• Your work requires you to design, compose, evaluate, advise, report, direct or supervise; and
• The work requires the application of engineering principles; and
• The work will safeguard life, health, property or public welfare.

Although my credentials include a B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering, I don’t hold a P.Eng. license and don’t provide “professional engineering services”. For you, as a client, that means that if your project “safeguards life, health, property or the public welfare”, our design must be checked and approved by a licensed Professional Engineer. In order to avoid legal ambiguities, this principle applies to all projects we’re involved in, i.e. the client takes full legal responsibility for the project.

The machinery is on my own property and I do the job. It means, I don’t pay rent and wages to workers and you don’t cover these operating expenses as a part of your order. Also, having a university degree in Mechanical Engineering and more than fifteen years of experience in mechanical design, I will assist you in order to improve your parts’ manufacturability and reduce manufacturing costs.

The milling machine’s work envelope size is 14″ x 7.5″ x 13.25″ (X,Y,Z). Although fixtures and tooling may reduce this work envelope even more, larger parts could be made using multiple setups. Please contact us to discuss your specific parts.
