Gearhead, why not buy yourself a cheap cnc mill (ebay has some) and get some machining experience. I'm assuming you have not done much cnc machining up to this point.
Even if you have to "give away" your time for a while, you are far more likely to attract a customer if you can make something for them to prove your abilities.
In my experience, nothing is ever so cut and dried that I could dream of farming out the programming part of the job. There is always something that needs tweaking (and right now!) before the program is ready to run. This is why machine shops have their own CADCAM departments real handy. Can you outcompete an in-house programmer? That is the question. |
