Hey Andrew,
Can you give some feedback as to how this worked out for you? You posted on the 10th requesting that they would ship on the 13th and it is now the 17th so you should have recieved your parts. How did they turn out?
Forgot to say that I was paying $3.39 for the 3x1.25x6.5 6061-T6 Kaiser US material I am using.
I will be able to pretty easily get the part down to less than 6 minutes with the right material size, doing more then one at a time and by leaning on the tools a little bit more on the roughing...
Sorry to drag out this job.
I have not awarded the job to someone yet because I am currently have work done by one of the shops that I am considering and I want to see how the relationship works before awarding them another job.
I received 14 quotes. Honestly I expected more, and I am not...
Thank you for catching that. Yes you are correct. .0000=+-.002
Please quote accordingly.
There are only a handfull of locations that have this call out.
I am currently making these parts, but am running short on machine time. I would like to get some quotes to see if it is worth having someone else make them.
I will only consider shops that can show me examples of previous work, and tell me something about their shop. I will only award the...
It would probably be best to email quotes to prdinquiry@gmail.com
Please send quote in the body of the email. I have recieved a virus from someone as an attachment from this site. After I award the job I will download the formal quote.
Thanks

RFQ Awarded
Thank you for taking the time to quote our parts. If it is alright I will keep you on my contact list to quote future jobs.
I awarded the job to a local Northern California machine shop that I am confident will supply the consistent quality parts I am looking for. I had narrowed...
I was talking to a fellow shop that posted a pretty good RFQ late on a Friday and recieved over 80 emails by Monday Morning. He said he narrowed it down to about 40 shops that he would have been happy with. He said some of the prices were crazy low. He ended up going with a shop that was refered...
Thanks again to everyone who is quoting this job. My daughter became very sick this week and I will be working from home Friday and this weekend with most of next week off to take care of her. I would prefer the quotes to be to me by Sturday, Friday preferably. Late next week I will award the...
RFQ is now CLOSED
Thank you to everyone who responded to me. I received 28 requests for prints and last night I emailed out solid files and basic prints. From here forward I am not sending any more out.
Thank you for taking the time to review our parts. I look forward to seeing the quotes.
I forgot to mention that I prefer to do business with established US shops. Sorry to those who are not. If you email me please include info on your shop.
If you have a live tool lathe please email me and I will supply you with info needed to quote a couple jobs. To everyone else, this would be a single lathe op and four vert Mill ops. Or, it could be done with two mill ops and one indexer op.
So, my point is that I would like to get in touch...
