Greetings everyone,

I am in need of a milled Aluminum 6061 part.
The part is a pushbutton switch actuator.

See linked PDF for details.
Quantity: 10, 20
Tolerance: ±.002"
Finish: mill / clear anodize
Timeframe: flexible

I would like quotes for 10 of these parts with mill finish, 10 with clear anodize, 20 with mill finish, 20 with clear anodize.
As we are in the prototyping stage, we need only 10-20 now.
Also, we are not in a super rush, so we can accept longer lead times if the price is right.
When we're ready for production we will need 5000-5500 (with anodize), so this could lead to a bigger job.

SolidWorks, IGES, and STEP formats are in the linked zip below. If you need a different format, have problems opening what's attached, or have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your time,

As an added note:
The square, blind hole in the bottom of this part can have radiused corners for ease of fabrication.
The smaller the radius, the better; I would prefer no larger than 0.039" (1mm) radii.

Does this part really have to have +/- .002 everywhere? I am assuming since it
is a button it needs to be made as cheaply as possible. Those tolerances will
require either slower feeds or clean up passes driving up the price.

That's a good point.
±0.002" is probably right on the edge of what you can achieve without additional passes.

The square hole on the bottom does need to have a tighter tolerance than the rest of the part.

A more realistic tolerance spec for economy would be ±.005 for the square hole and ±.01 for the rest of the part.

Does this sound like a better solution to you, Dualkit?
Thanks,
~Skylar

With a +/-.010" tolerance, would unfinished 1x1 square bar be ok to use and not have a machined finish on the base perimeter?

Can square hole have clearance in corners. They are drawn sharp.

nmachine,

Yes, the square hole can have clearance in the corners.
For details, see the note at the bottom of my first post.

Thank you,

Matt@RFR,

Yes, using 1x1 stock is fine.
The bottom of the part (the section that is 1"x1") does not necessarily need to be totally machined.
