View Full Version : Rough idea of cost for milling aluminum artwork?

I need to get a 6"x6"x36" piece of aluminum machined for an art project. I have the .step file for the project ready to go, and it's a relatively straightforward job, as compared to say a billet block or suspension parts.

Any idea what a rough cost would be for the work?

Any recommendations of shops in America that do good work?

Thanks,
Jason

Try searching for on line machine shops.... I did and found this place. Just saying to try a quick on line search.

Thanks for the link - the project is quite sensitive so I'm hoping to find a fabricator in 'the tree of trust' so to speak.

Thanks,

I can quote it. I think I'm trustworthy, I know a few guys on here. If you can send a screen shot (no data) I can let you know if I could do it.
