Any one have any contacts for some machine work. I need the following made....




Ive asked a CNC company but they said it would cost a lot and it is better to find someone who could do it on a lathe.

That should be relatively easy on a lathe and cheap I would think.

I wanted what was effectively 4 off the r/h drawing machining a while back and they quoted me about 80-100 quid. So I'd say 100quid to your door seems alright to me
