This RFQ is now closed - the quotes ranged from about $7 to about $15 for each part. I have already contacted the winner and will be placing the order ASAP.
The low quotes on the #1 part went from just under $2 each and just under $3 for the #2 part. The high quotes went up around $6 and $7 each.
Keep in mind that the material costs for these should have been right around 25 cents each (I pay about 15 cents for material when I make them myself) so...
Closing Early
I've decided to move up the end date on this RFQ - I've gotten a number of decent quotes and I don't think anything would be served by dragging this out much longer - plus I need the parts ASAP.
Thanks to everyone who responded, this RFQ is now closed. I'll post a recap later on...
I'm going to comment here too - on the RFQ's for my parts - I'm getting quite a range, even from one part to the other from the same company - i.e. company 1 has a good price for one part and is way way off for another. And keep in mind my parts are the same material. And I know what the...
For those of you looking at shipping charges (not just for this RFQ) - the post office offers a flat rate priority box in two different sizes that you can stuff with any weight of up to 70 pounds and the shipping is only $8 and it gets anywhere in the US in 2 to 3 days, including AK and HI.
I...
I've had a couple of questions about the stock 1" bars in this foto - they show a radius on them - the only reason for that is that this is the stock I bought and having (or not having) a radius is not important to the part. Only important issue as to the stock is that it is roughly 1 inch...
After seeing that the quotes for my prior RFQ are decent enough - I decided to put this part out for RFQ too. It just doesn't make sense for me to try to do all this production work on my Tormach - I've got lots of other products to prototype and subbing this work out will save me a lot of grief...
Twice now - I spend 20 minutes typing in an RFQ get it all right and go to preview it - the site then asks me to LOGIN AGAIN and proceeds to LOSE MY ENTIRE F^&^%$#ING post. If I hit the Back button it's still gone.
This site is a great idea but I really hate having to redo so much work - I...
I saw in another forum here that a number of RFQ's had been left hanging here on this site - very unprofessional IMO.
I want to assure everyone, at least in my case with this RFQ, that I will answer EVERY PM and will post here in a week to let everyone know the RFQ has closed and the price I...
I'm in the same boat as damnmachines - I have a Tormach and made some prototypes and now they are selling and the production is not the most efficient use of my time. I have a number of parts I would like to eventually sub out, but these are the first two. Sorry, I don't do CAD/CAM I just use a...
