To answer a few questions, dimensions are in inches. We cannot disclose full
contact information until a vendor for these parts has been selected. We are
unhappy with our current in house machining department and looking to out
source our machining needs. We are trying to be discrete until the problem
is resolved. Also anyone responding outside the USA please quote shipping to
zip code 98404, must be air freight, use 5 lbs as a guide.

Quote closed, job awarded, thanks to all who responded.
Went with 250 count of the steel, I received only 7 bids:
High $3.20
Low $.11 (yes 11 cents!)
Wanting to keep it in USA did not accept the low bid.
Also low bidder would not disclose country they were from, had to google
the phone number to find out, I do not appreciate deception.
Will post the next job for bid as soon as I receive this order, wanted to go
small dollar amount work first to test the waters, thanks,........Don

At my shop rate that would be just about 5 seconds a part.
Certainly doable on a screw machine....

I'm not saying it can't be done. and i know screw machines kick A$$. but, at that price the job would have to be a very large Quantity.

Maybe too much information but the 11 cent quote was real and it came from
India, thought I made it clear I didn't take that price. Went with a USA company for $1.00, is that better? I have no idea how much parts should
cost, I am just a mfg consultant learning the ropes,......Don

Don,

Not too much info, thanks for posting it. We very rarely see feedback.
I don't think anyone was criticizing you or saying you were not truthful.
It's just disbelief that anyone would want to do that for $27.50.
Costs me more than that to send out the invoice.

I don't even do this type of work, but it is always interesting to see responses to an RFQ.

Thanks,
PW
