    RFQ -25000 3/8 brass plugs

    Got it. So, I did a little investigation and one person used the PM for my email, one found it on another thread I had posted in 2020 and a third used an email that I have for a hobby website. Not sure how that happened unless it too was from another post on this or another forum. It was...

    RFQ -25000 3/8 brass plugs

    Everyone that contacted me did so through the forum messaging software. My email must be accessible through my profile as two people emailed me directly. I don't like to post my email on forums because it seems to result in junk mail so I rely more on the messaging portion of the website. As...

    RFQ -25000 3/8 brass plugs

    My expectations were that a business that does this kind of work would have access to the standards and if not then they would email me and ask for more specific information in order to prepare a quote.

    RFQ -25000 3/8 brass plugs

    I will try to respond to several comments/questions that have been posted. My apologies for not putting a target price out there. That was my mistake. I also assumed inquiries pertaining to the project would have been addressed via email or private messenger. I also did not check this thread...

    RFQ -25000 3/8 brass plugs

    To all, Thanks for the quotes that I have gotten so far. These have always been run on a screw machine. Based on the quotes I have received from members on this forum it seems that CNC machines are clearly not the best way to run it. I am not trying to be rude or beat people down on price but...

    Screw Machine Equipment

    Thanks guys. The companies moving to CNC are doing some pretty high tolerance parts for the aerospace industry and their pricing is going through the roof as much as 3-4 times what they were charging me on their screw machines. No, they wont sell me their machines nor the tooling to make my...

    We are a small, family owned industrial distributor in Central Indiana. We have been struggling the last few years with the closing of several screw machine companies that supply us. It seems like everyone is going to CNC machines which is driving up the cost. Unfortunately, we do not have...

    Quality Control Software

    Thanks for the input. I do think I could create my own system using Excel or Access, but I just don't have the time to do it which is why I was hoping there would be a software package out there. Maybe I need to look for someone to create it for me. andrew

    Looking for screw machine parts

    Just wanted to say thanks for the inquiries and we are still open to looking at new companies. Quality certification and ability to complete a Level 3 PPAP will not exclude you from consideration, but it will put you to the front of the list especially for new parts. It looks like we have...
