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

This might be a good test of the online service whose name escapes me at the
moment...

when I was chopping my '65 Triumph back in the 70's)

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.

Hi. Thank you for the information. I hope I don't call too many places
that require a minimum 1,000 quantity or something like that. :-)

Thanks.
