Default Getting quotes mid-high end machining?


I'm potentially looking to get some machining done (just one piece for
now, but it won't be cheap). More later. It will require a fairly
large 5-axis CNC (lots of strange angles and it's something like 18"
diameter by 6" aluminum. There are not many local guys left, and
they're mostly busy with oil and long-term aerospace contracts.

Any suggestions of where to look? I was thinking of starting to canvas
higher-end mold shops in the Ohio area, but other suggestions are
welcome. Looking for reasonable responsiveness (weeks, not months),
which probably rules out the automotive guys.

Best regards,
