I run a small manufacturing business and I am looking to outsource some of my operations. I current run a small CNC machine to cut my parts out of 3/4 MDF. I need to free up some of my time. I would probably place an order on a bi-weekly basis and this would be ongoing. I have been in business for over 2 years selling my products so I will need a reliable person to accept this job for an ongoing basis. If there is someone interested in small run orders on an ongoing basis please feel free to email me. whitesideentp@yahoo.com

More specifics of what I need.

I will try to explain to you what I need exactly:

This is what I am currently doing:
-I cut a total of seven small parts from an 11 x 18 sheet of 3/4" MDF.

I am looking for someone who can cut and finish/sand the 7 parts. I am willing to pay per unit(7 parts) whatever price we agree on. I will need between 10 and 20 units per week. I have been doing this for over 2 years and I need a reliable manufacturer to keep me constantly supplied.

I have attached an older DXF file of the parts I cut. It is missing one part but it will give you a good idea of what I need. I also have an idea for another machine that will need similar parts cut but I have not built the prototype yet. That will be another job opportunity.

I have gotten a few responses thus far. I am concerned of quality, reliability, and then cost.

I hope I explained enough. Feel free to give me a call if you need more info.

Hi,
Please let me know the price that you are willing to pay to have this done. This will determine if we try a test piece in the shop for an actual time study.

What is MDF?

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF or MDFB) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and resin, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. It is a building material similar in application to plywood but made up of separated fibres, not wood veneers. It is denser than normal particle board.
Large-scale production of MDF began in the 1980s. Its name derives from the distinction in densities of fibreboard. MDF typically has a density of 600-800 kg/m³, in contrast to particle board (160-450 kg/m³) and to high-density fibreboard (500-1450 kg/m³). Similar manufacturing processes are used in making all types of fibreboard.
MDF is also known as Customwood or Craftwood. [citation needed].
MDF has been controversial in regard to its use of formaldehyde resins and the associated health risks. Thus, other resins are being considered and used instead of formaldehyde.:D
