    Request For Quote- SERIOUS long-term vendor wanted

    Yes, we have also heard similiar from customers. Despite the major contraction in required capacity those of us left should be doing better this coming year.

    Request For Quote- Stainless mount rings

    I know of only ONE shop on this forum that got work and that was from us. They waterjet cut some blanks for us, they were extremely fast and the parts were in spec. The locals have machines less than 5 years old and cannot get anything right.
