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 so this RFQ is simply for machining the parts.
I can provide G-CODE, CAD/CAM files, and discuss how I did things when I made them in my own shop. I am sure that someone with experience can come up with a better fixture system and improve the CAM side of things since I am basically self taught and was simply trying to find a way to make the part myself. At this point, making it myself costs me more then having someone else make the item.
Here are some photos and other info from my blog if this helps:

I currently have four designs (basically a family of parts). I use the same fixtures for all four parts.
I can provide design files for all fixtures and if needed can provide G-code and/or other CAM formats.
Each mfg run would be 20-40 items so we are talking small volume. Over time, I hope to increase the volume. Please quote your price for 6061 alloy and for 7075 alloy.
Please email me to discuss the job if you are interested. (mark@gatorbackskate.com).
