We seek a machinest who is available for short production runs of relatively small pieces, usually under 6 inches.

Our shop is near many big shops that prefer big federal/military project money so they wont touch small or short runs. So we prefer to work with home or desktop machinsts, part-timers, or folks looking to make some side income.


Generally, we are looking for someone who meets most of the following requirements (which are pretty straight forward):


-part-time -or- looking to make extra/side income

-can make blueprints from original prototypes (for future reference)

-has experience in aluminum, plastics (some stainless steel and bronze)

-understands the importance of detail however strange it may seem

-enjoys unusual projects

-*and above all*, maintains regular communication and upholds an agreed upon schedule when a project starts.



We do not generally need to worry about high tolerances.

If interested, please send a Private Message with your name and email.

Many Thanks
PT Development

Hi,

A friend and I bought a machine a while back and currently all we do are small runs or small parts. Our big focus has always been customer service and ensuring our customers get a great product for their money. If you have any questions please let me know.

Cheers,
Clayton

to the two guys that replyed to this post
i have been doing quote for a bit now and this is just a peice of advice for you when the potential cutomer says "understands the importance of detail however strange it may seem"then also says "If interested, please send a Private Message with your name and email."dont post a reply to try and get the job on the open thread send him a private message you will find that if you make the best parts in the word no one will know if you dont listen to what the customer says the first time they talk. and yes things that small can make you loss the job.i hope you all the best
