Need machining done

[Karmaarma]

Hello all,

I have been producing my own production parts for a while now on a small manual lathe, but business is getting busy and I either need to upgrade my equipment or have someone else make my parts. I have a few questions.

Is there a reasonable option for a small CNC lathe that will easily handle 2" aluminum stock?

How much should I be prepared to pay to have 2" by 4" parts with a .5" through hole machined, 6061 stock? There are a few more minor machining steps to these parts with a couple of threaded holes. I understand that these questions are very vague, so I can add information if it is necessary, but I'm just trying to get a general idea.

Thanks for the help.

Post up in the RFQ section. My advice, if you can't keep a machine busy for atleast 20 hours a week, outsource the job. You can always pull the work home later.
