Corrections, story tips, and shop-floor stories from the field. We read every note sent our way.
Where We Work
Chokot operates from a converted forge building in the industrial quarter — exposed brick, cast-iron columns, and enough chip pan capacity to test every claim we publish. Visitors are welcome by appointment; bring your prints and we'll put the coffee on.
Our editorial floor sits above the demonstration shop, so the same engineers who profile a five-axis spindle run the magazine that covers it. That proximity shapes everything we print.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast do you reply to RFQs?
Most quote requests receive a first response within one business day. Complex multi-process parts may take 48 hours while we verify capacity and lead times across our partner network.
Can I submit an article pitch anonymously?
Yes. Use our editorial inbox and mark the subject line 'Anonymous Pitch.' We'll discuss sourcing protections before any assignment is confirmed, and your identity stays off our records.
Do you accept guest posts from outside the industry?
Occasionally. We prioritize working machinists, manufacturing engineers, and shop owners. Strong adjacent voices — metrology, materials science, industrial design — are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Is the shop floor open to readers?
By appointment only, and only when no active test cuts are running. We host quarterly open-shop evenings for subscribers; check the newsletter for the next date.
