how soon do u want them
and i cant do the anodizing...
also i dont think you can anodize steel
you can poweder coat it but not anodize
either way i dont have access to do either
plus do you have the actual cad file

You are going to have to spec another finish. Anodizing is not possible on steel.

Do you mean clear (silver) zinc?

You might think about waterjet or laser cutting this. Good shops should be able to hold +/- .005"

I wasn't aware of the anodizing of steel, until earlier today.

On the water jet, I thought the same thing, but the guy around here wanted way too much to cut these parts on the water jet. I can get them cut out on the mill cheaper then he would cut them on the water jet.

On the lead time, I don't need them tomorrow but I need by the beginning of next year.

Thanks for all of the help.

Laser sounds like the way to go. Shops in this neck of the woods charge around $0.07 per inch of cut (depending on the shop) plus programming and material. For 20 pieces, this is the way I would recommend.

I know this is and RFQ and my post is of little assistance but it seemed relevant considering you had mentioned water jet cutting.
