Hi! We make miniature underwater battery-operated equipment for use in scientific research. We often need small quantities of parts machined.
When the parts are simple, our primary go-to shop has too much overhead to do small production runs inexpensively. Most shops that advertise tell us the same thing. Meanwhile the great one-man shop we used to use for simple stuff is no longer available.
So, we're looking for help with low-overhead manufacturing of prototype quantities of simple parts. The next part we need made is our GR2107, a 0.615" brass post. PDF and IGS files at the following links:

We are looking for quantity 32, delivery 10 weeks ARO. Please PM a bid if you're interested, and please include at least two references we can call or email. Extra points for shops located within reasonable driving distance of Santa Cruz in Northern California or Ojai in Southern California, but we'll consider any shop in the US; we will not consider shops outside the US. Bid via PM on this board is fine.
I can't promise to respond to every bid, but I definitely promise to make a closing comment on this thread when we've made a decision. Thanks in advance!
