Does anyone know of any good machine shops in PA or NJ? I'm looking to have some shock mounts made, so I'm not looking for an engine machine shop. So does anyone know of a good one? Ideally some place that isn't too expensive.

I think any machine shop can cut the metal, can you make a model for them?

Wiisass · 08-09-2006, 11:33 PM

Yeah, I already drew it up in unigraphics and autocad. I mean it's something that any place with a CNC could do no problem, it might be a little pain in the ass to do manually, but it could still be done. I'm just trying to find a place that does stuff like this regularly. Like someplace that can easily convert my part files to CNC code and throw it on the mill.

hey Tim

These are the guys we use for low volume production stuff:

They're a small shop that don't turn their nose up at small jobs and they're good. They're here in easton.

Awesome, just let me know.

Will, thanks, I'll give them a call today and see what they can do. Hopefully they can knock this stuff out quick so the Supra will make it to the next event.

Anybody else know of any good places. I'm having trouble finding a place that can get this stuff done for me in the next week or so.

wgknestrick · 08-15-2006, 12:59 PM

You still have to detail most parts into drawings. CAM packages off of solid parts are usually only good for complex cavity impressions.

You won't find any place that is cheap because machinist aren't cheap. You have to know someone and get them to do it for you "on the side".

Wiisass · 08-15-2006, 02:28 PM

I have full detailed drawings. I'm not sure what your trying to say about complex cavity impressions, but unless that's the name of a machine shop that will do the work for me, I really don't care.

I know that machining isn't cheap. I'm just looking for names of places that people have dealt with and will do the work. I can deal with all the other details later.
