I have recently partnered with a gentleman who has a manual machine shop with welding and fabricating capabilities. He has been in business for about fifteen years, in the heart of the Kansas oil industry. Using my expertise, we are looking to expand into a full CNC shop. I have previously ran the shop for Wellhead System Inc. in Hill City, Kansas and now am pursuing my own ventures. In addition, I have been a machinist/ programmer/ designer for fifteen years in various machining industries, including aerospace, molds, prototypes, and heavy duty government equipment (military trailers, tankers, lifts, etc.).

Our shop rates are currently $50-70/ hour, depending on several factors. Of course, volume would drop shop rate.

We are able to maintain quality assurance with a reasonable lead time. I have been through ISO9000 certification with three different machine shops, although currently this shop is not certified. When we reach full operation work load, we will start the process of becoming certified.

We greatly appreciate your interest with us and look forward to speaking with you further.


Best Regards,
W. Dale Davis, Jr.

I agree 100% Madmachinist, Did you even get a print? What a dork to ask for a quote and blow us all off.:mad: Even a follow up would be a polite jesture.
Did anyone get a print or any communication from this guy?

I think everyone needs to chill just a little. I have done work for this guy, he paid on time, and was pleasent to work with. He is young and not as experienced as some I have worked with.

The things he does have (that some of us seem not to have) are a vision, a market, and a viable product. I think we all need to cut this guy a break. If you don't want to work with him, fine. I for one, hope to hear from him in the future.

I hear you and understand your point and am sorry for being abrupt, but from my point of view and anyone else that doesn't know him it looked like a hit and run.;) I've been a self employed shop owner for 35 years and we old people get grumpy after running a shop with 100+ people for so long.:eek:

I would have to say the OP has found another source for this project - per his profile "Last Activity: 02-26-2009 11:33 PM"

But it is good to see that using the companies assets for personal gains is still alive and well :p

Dude, Is doing side jobs on your employers machine a part of teh fringe benefits? Think about this, a $30 job and you lose your job. Not for what ends up being these cheap ungrateful customers. After a while you end up despising your customers the flakes and the cheapskates.

Madmachinist & DragonXtreme, rest easy. Any work I do here will have the consent of my employer.
I will have to retract that "no overhead!" statement though.
Feel free to call me out in the future.

Sincerely,

Joshua Nudelman
