Question Looking for a good Machine Shop - Know of any? - 02-13-2008, 02:42 PM


I'm looking for a good machine shop to CNC some stuff out of aluminum. Nothing too fancy out of the ordinary design wise.. Nothing in there that will throw them for a loop. It's prety straight forward.

I'm just wanting someone/place that knows what theyre doing... heehee.

anyways.. i know its a long shot but i thought i would try to see if anyone knew of a place or person that works/runs a good machine shop.

Thanks

What I need made is fairly small and somewhat simple if you have the equipment so shipping it to me wouldnt be all that bad.

Abel, did you ever get this done?
I was surfing through old posts and found this. Not sure why I never saw it originally.
My next door neighbor, her father owns a machine shop.
What are you looking to get done (if it hasn't already been done).
