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 pencil and paper to do my designs and straight GCode for my milling. Fotos of parts are below - if I left something out or am unclear, please PM me.
Both parts are 1" square mild steel (you supply stock). I don't need any deburring, cleaning etc. I can do that. I'd like quotes on 100 and 500 each part. Time frame is a week to 10 days. Please quote any shipping separate from actually making the parts (I'm in Oregon, zip 97479). RFQ ending time is Monday, Feb 5.
Part 1:
These are spacers, pretty simple but the most important thing is that the length is accurate - 1.325" (+/- .001) and that the two end surfaces are parallel and nice and shiny - I use a flycutter, .001 on my last pass - anything that gives a similar surface is fine. The hole is 1/2" and centered (+/- .010 for centering and + 0.10 for hole diameter).
Part 2 :
Pretty much the same as part 1 - except length is 1.315 (+/- .001) and the hole is 1/4" (same tolerances as 1/2" hole above). Slot is 0.700" wide (+.002) and 0.75" deep (+/- .050) - if it makes it easier to mill, a 0.75 inch slot is fine too - just as long as the slot is centered (+/- .001 on the centering).
If the RFQ price and quality is good enough, I have other parts I will be subbing out ASAP. In your RFQ, if it's not too much trouble, I would like to know what make and model of machine you will be using to mill these.
Thanks,
Matt
