I could probably get them to do it, but I am sure I will need a few done along the way and there is only so much they will do as a favour. To pay for it is almost impossible, being a government institution, and even if I manage to do it, it would be too expensive. What I need is an affordable machine shop that I can take my designs to be manufactured when I require.

You might even get the bits you want done as practice pieces by apprentices. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
