I am looking for a machine shop to do some machining on steel. Squaring, surface milling, etc...
I'm re/designing my garage-made cnc machine, each axis at a time. In the past, I would do this work myself, but now I feel I want these structures made from steel, and I do not have the equipment to do this work on pieces. I feel the basic square plate designs with bolt patterns would be simple and easy for someone who had the right machinery.
Sizes are roughly 24" x 30" x 1" for part #1 and 12" x 16" x 1" for part #2)
Basically, these would be the plates that I bolt my linear rails and ballscrews to. A plate on the bottom and plate on the top. I would create a mechanical drawing.
So I was wondering if anyone had advice for shops I can call for some quotes, or links to websites? Any input on their experiences and what to lookout for?
