Custom fabrication/machine shop?

I wasn't sure where to put this.

I need some custom washers fabricated. Does anyone know a machine shop that could handle that?

 

Washers for?

Actually spacers, it is a long story.

They will be used in between the front bushings on the lower control arms to fill a gap between the bushing and the crossmember...so they need to be strong. I am currently using a stack of washers, but I would feel safer with a solid piece of metal there.

Here is a picture of the gap.

 

yeah...I downloaded their gui last week.

They only have limited thickness options, and I need a specific thickness.

 

well, they can machine anything you want. it doesn't have to be a preset washer. just start off with a rod with the correct diameter/thickness and mill a hole through it.

they can make it, guaranteed. you didn't try hard enough

 

Try calling:

Gazaway Machine and Tool
1025 Nine North Drive
Unit N
Alpharetta, 30004

770-576-0011

ask for Andy...he's a gunsmith and toolmaker.

 

...you are right, I only spent about 3 mins in the tutorials. I just went through the video tutuorials, and a few seconds later I had my design ready!

Emachine shop can do the job for the low low cost of $177.00...

I know that custom fabrication is not cheap, but I had no idea. I was thinking more a long the lines of the $30.00 neighborhood, maybe $50.

hrm that's weird. it also depends a LOT on which type of machining process you choose, and the material.

that seems pretty steep. what process did you choose? I can ask a guy at work if he can make it for me if you give me the dimensions. we have a full machine shop at the brewery. I imagine you want stainless?

 

did you call my guy?

 

I tried it with Stainless Steel and 6061 Aluminum. SS was about $3 more expensive.

The machine I chose was the CNC Mill.

is he working on a saturday?

 

usually does.

 

let me know if you ever find a price, i might need a special washer made too

 

Called, didn't answer, I left him a message.

 

I can cut/mill/turn it for you ?how soon you need it ?
pm me -

i have the capability and the access

you dont need no sw with me - just sketch on napkin and get it to me

 

Perfect.

Thanks.

 

get me the sketch before lunch and ill have it done by lunch

 

Wow, you still have not quoted me any of mine from last week and you are going to get his done by lunch? I feel disliked Ming.:wtc:

 

if yours is round with one hole in the middle
then you get it after dinner :naughty:

 

Thanks again Ming, the spacers worked out perfectly.
