Default What Would Be the Standard Practice in This Situation? - 1

In article ovIef.336421$084.211281@attbi_s22, JWho says...

On average, what does a shop charge for an hourly rate, or do they just
charge per job?


It varies. Basically you have to ask around. Make up a
simple hand sketch (no cad program needed) of what you
want. Put real dimensions on it, and put tolerances
on it. The lengths are going to be +/- 0.010 or so,
but the diameter will be +/- 0.001 or so, and be sure
you've chosen it so it will work if arrives just at
the tolerance limits.

If you show up with real numbers like that you may well
get a cheaper rate. But ask around and see what shops
are in the area.
