First post on site. The overall tolerance is .001 with a few .0001. The parts are relatively small, with the largest being ~8 inches.

1) Material type
Brass, Aluminum, & Steel
2) Is a material quote required or is material supplied.
Material quote required
3) Quantity
Brass: 16 different parts, 96 total
Aluminum: 7 different parts, 32 total
Steel: 6 different parts, 38 total
4) Drawings should be immediately available or necessary specs.
All the parts were made in Solidworks 2008. I have all of the Drawings & Solidworks part files in attached in ~5MB zip file. The file names contain the part name as well as the (quantity) and material type.
5) Required time frame
As soon as possible
6) RFQ ending time
One week - will extended if necessary
9) Make known any special treatments/finishes not necessarily related to the machining process.
None

Any questions or suggestions or major errors in the designs or drawings, let me know!
PM or post email for zip file, thanks.

I have a couple of quick questions for you! First will this be a repeat order? Second did you type the tolerancing incorrectly? That is an extremely tight tolerance and you will get people avoiding quoting altogether, and if some do quote will, or should be priced very high. Please confirm your overall tolerance! Also without 2d drawings one will not know the more critical areas to the part without guessing. Not trying to be difficult, you just may not get the quotes you are looking for.

All the parts were made in Solidworks 2008, however, they're in 3D and no 2D drawings were made (I hope this is not a problem).
This is absolutely a problem. If you're going to call out tolerances like that, you need to supply 2D prints or you are going to be sorely dissapointed in the parts you recieve. If you recieve parts that are out of tolerance, how do you prove it? With no print, there's no proof.

You might also post your target prices for these parts. With +/-.0001" tolerances, they are going to be expensive. Very expensive.

Ok. I'm working on the 2D Drawings (They'll be as JPEGs), they should be done by tomorrow and I'll send them along with the Solidworks parts to all that has PM'ed me. Thanks for the help.

Please don't tell me that would influence your pricing. I don't know how many times I have heard. "If you do these 10 parts cheap, you will get the 1,000 piece order when they start selling like hot cakes." Never happens.
Looks like the original poster vanished, wonder if he got sticker shock with those tolerances?
