Bradley, keep in mind that I have manufacturing capability as well. I currently don't do 3d machining, but I am sure Rob C. would help with 3d programming and setting up my machine for "drip feed" if it were to come to pass, or could the part be simplified a little to machine with standard 2 1/2 axis programming? I might not be quite as cheap as China, but don't require the runs be as huge, and saves a lot of shipping cost. I MIGHT also be able to do better on material cost. We have enough on our plate at the moment, but food for thought...
