MACHINE DESIGN VERIFICATION TOOLKIT — PROFESSIONAL EDITION

Stop Finding Out About Design Mistakes On The Shop Floor.

You already know the pattern. A design looks complete on screen. It gets released. Then, somewhere between the first machining setup and the first production run, something that should have been caught on paper gets caught in steel instead — a tool that can't reach a feature, a fixture plate that flexes under load, a safety interlock nobody actually tested.

Every one of those moments is expensive. Redesign hours. Missed delivery dates. A customer who now double-checks everything you send them. And almost every one of them was avoidable — if someone had asked the right question at the right stage.

The JAK Machine Design Verification Toolkit is that system.

Built from 8+ years of real special purpose machine design experience, this isn't a generic checklist pulled from a forum. It's a complete design review system covering every stage from concept sketch to shipped machine.

What's included:

Machine Design Verification Checklist — 200 verification questions across 10 engineering chapters (requirements, concept, mechanical design, motion control, pneumatics, controls, manufacturing, assembly, safety, and documentation), each with a risk level, priority, the reasoning behind it, and a specific recommendation if it fails.

Excel Interactive Dashboard — the same 200 questions, live in a working spreadsheet with automatic scoring, traffic-light status, and three role-specific views: Executive, Manager, and Maintenance dashboards, plus a self-sorting Issue Tracker.

100 Common Machine Design Mistakes — real failure modes, organized by the same 10 chapters, each with why it happens, a real-world example, what it costs when missed, and how to avoid it.

19 Engineering Cheat Sheets — fast reference for fits & tolerances, bearing life, shaft design, fasteners, motors, GD&T, safety factors, and the formulas you reach for constantly.

Design Release Package — 9 standalone checklists covering Design Release, Drawing Release, BOM Verification, FAT, SAT, Commissioning, Supplier Review, Customer Acceptance, and Shipment.

AI Companion — 11 ready-to-use prompts for reviewing designs, BOMs, and manufacturability, generating DFMEA ideas, cutting cost, and drafting review reports with any AI assistant.

Who this is for:

Mechanical engineers and machine designers, engineering managers standardising a team's review process, manufacturing and automation engineers, freelance machine builders and small OEMs without a large engineering department behind them, and engineering students who want to learn the questions a 10-year veteran actually asks.

What you get: Word documents for the checklist, mistakes list, cheat sheets, release package, and AI companion, plus an Excel workbook for the interactive dashboard. Instant download after purchase.

Design Smarter. Build Better.
