Need some brass parts turned RFQ

[msloan]

I am making these on my lathe at home I can't make them fast enough. I am wondering if it would be cost effective to get them made for me. I am in Wilmington, NC USA

I'm making them from a 3/4" brass rod now. I'm not sure of the type just stuff I buy on ebay I think it is free machining brass. This is sort of a stock size. I Build fishing lures for salt water fishing. I modify each one to fit each lure as I build them. So the finish quality is not a big deal. I am also interested in making them in Stainless. Since that is not as heavy I might have to beef it up a little. I could use 100 of these for starters. Please let me know what something like this would cost.

Thanks,

Mike

100 is very less quantity.
if you order 2000 pcs then we will make it for you.

As I see your part, as pictured, I think CNC machining is much more than needed.
Perhaps you could walk in to a small shop in your area with a sample part and ask for a quote, it's a simple piece and would take a few hours to make 100 on a turret lathe, including setup.
If you supply the material, most shops would do the job at little more than the cost of labor, as a gesture of good will, with the hopes of future business.
A CNC machine requires a program to be written, you'll pay for that.
I am a conventional machinist working in a CNC shop, I would be half way through the job in the time it would take a programmer to finish writing and begin to set up his machine.

I appreciate all the ideas I really don't care how anyone makes them as long as I don't have to and it is affordable. I have gotten several quotes if you didn't get a response it was probably because your price was way out of line or you where trying to sell me into a 5000 quantity. I appreciate everyones effort and have found what I think will be the best source.

A program for a part of this simplicity would take less than 15 min to write....4 Tools + Bar puller? Maybe 30 min setup for a part comes off the macine. In 1 hour I'd have the thing running unattended and working on something else...(I did not submit a quote).

Do you pay that programmer the same as you pay your manual machinists? Do you charge according to the hourly cost of using the machine as opposed to a machine that sits idle most of the time as you make work for its operator?
In these times these are factors, the part, and the quantity in no way justified the use of CNC technology.
