Doris Li
A machine specification only matters if the sample part passes. Everything I do — quoting, sample cutting, pre-shipment acceptance — starts and ends with the buyer's drawing.
About Doris
Doris Li is a CNC Application Engineer on the HORISTAR CNC Application Team, where she works directly with overseas buyers on machine selection, sample cutting, quotation inputs, and pre-shipment inspection for CNC lathes, CNC bending, CNC deburring, and turn-mill projects.
Over 8+ years in the industry, she has supported buyers across more than 30 countries, with deep focus on:
- CNC lathe machine selection — matching turret type (hydraulic / servo / power turret), tooling interface (BMT vs VDI), spindle bore, and Y-axis option to the buyer's part family.
- Sample cutting and trial parts — running buyer drawings on HORISTAR TCK-series lathes (TCK56Y / TCK63Y / TCK80Y) and documenting measured dimensions before quotation.
- Pre-shipment acceptance — 30-cycle indexing tests, 3 sample-part dimension reports, and remote video inspection as standard evidence packages for export orders.
- RFQ specification writing — translating a drawing-plus-tolerance brief into a configuration that holds the cost, lead time, and accuracy targets the buyer actually needs.
Doris is the named author and reviewer on HORISTAR's CNC lathe and turret-selection guides, and is part of the team that maintains the CNC Lathe Pre-Shipment Acceptance Checklist used in HORISTAR's 18-hour-response quotation workflow.
What Doris Helps Buyers With
First-time CNC lathe import
Reviews drawings, recommends turret type and station count, arranges free sample cutting.
Upgrading from manual or older CNC
Compares old cycle time vs new configuration; quantifies expected ROI.
Tight-tolerance batch production
Specifies servo turret / BMT tooling / curvic coupling; defines micron-level acceptance test.
Turn-mill (driven tool) requirement
Reviews drawing for milled features; advises on 12-station servo power turret with Y-axis.
Pre-shipment quality assurance
Coordinates 30-cycle indexing video, 3 sample parts, and dimension report before sign-off.

Editorial Standards
Every article Doris writes or reviews for HORISTAR follows the same editorial process:
Drawing-first review
Recommendations reference real part geometry, tolerance, and tool count — not generic brochure claims.
Cite recognised standards
Safety, accuracy, and acceptance content is mapped to OSHA, ISO, and IEC sources buyers can verify locally.
Quantified acceptance
Each guide specifies the minimum evidence package (indexing cycles, sample parts, measured dimensions) before shipment.
Updated annually
Every guide carries a visible last-reviewed date; technical claims are revisited at least once a year.
