Quote has been awarded Thanks to everyone who supplied a quote. I received many quotes and really have a respect to all who took their time to provide a quote for my small RFQ. I have awarded the quote to Greg from Va. Part of the reason I selected Greg was that it turns out he is only...

I used billet size of 17.75x3x1.5 and 15x3x1.5.

I really like the CAD and CAM side of machining and dove head first into the project but frankly I am a full time software developer and for me doing the part time machining in my garage has not been working out. I like my designs and think at this point it is better to have someone who has...

Try Clinton Aluminum in Ohio and/or Advanced Metal Supply in NC. Both suppliers usually have fairly reasonable prices. That said I am the first to admit that the margins on this job are not high. The issue is that given the market I simply have to work backwards from my retail price to come...

CAD work for fixtures. I updated the CAD files. The IGS version of the files are HUGE. Most of the other formats are more reasonable in size. FILES IN EPRT FORMAT 1.3 megs -- http://www.gatorbackskate.com/CAD/Gatorback340PartsAndFixturesEPRT.zip FILES IN EPRT, X_T, AND SLDPRT FORMAT 13.6...

I get the material from Clinton Aluminum and sometimes from scrap dealers. I don't exactly remember the per item price. In terms of making the parts it takes me a LONG time on my equipment. My tool changer is not working correctly so for me all tool changes are manual. My max spindle...

My email address is mark@gatorbackskate.com. Good eyes for the radius bosses, they are the tricky part but if you have a good 2.5D package the tool paths are not that hard to setup. The internal radius bosses are cut with a 1/2" ball end mill using XZ arcs to cut half the boss from the...

Guys, The part is an inline skate frame for speed skates: The parts require machining solid billet from all four sides and holding reasonable tolerances but nothing crazy hard. You basically need a three axis machine with a tool changer. A local shop in the area does the anodizing...

Unfortunately, I don't have the software skills to 2d drawings. The .igs file from the solid modeling is all I have access to. The part is actually quite simple to describe. 12mm long, 22mm OD for the first 7mm, 19mm OD for the last 5mm. The ID starts as 16mm for the first 5mm then is...

I need the following item made. As a basic description, the part 12mm long with an 22mm OD for the first 7mm then a 19mm OD for the last 5mm. The ID starts as 16mm for the first 5mm then is reduced to 13mm for the last 7mm. At first I need two items out of aluminum to test the idea then...
