Question Looking for a good Machine Shop - Know of any? - 02-13-2008, 02:35 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

gads, all the ones I know are really swamped...($95/bbl will do that).

but...a nice small one I used to use at a previous employer is Kmiec Machine in Hempstead.

Call Donna or Scott Kmeic at 979-826-6452


closer but probably a lot more $$:

Magnum Precision Instruments
12450 Cutten Rd
David Content (VP)
832-436-6000
