The key to buying or using the services is, whether or not you can justify the expense of buying, maintenance, and ownership of the machine vs. farming it out to one of the shops. How much use can you, or will you, be able to find for such a machine!!! Ira.

I’ve been looking at Chinese machining services for a while now, wondering why 
everybody seems to want to buy a CNC router from China instead of buying 
services. If you search the web you’ll find lots of people buying CNC machines 
or building their own. At the same time, a quick look at alibaba.com shows 
hundreds of companies seemingly willing to do prototyping work even in 
single-unit quantities. Just search alibaba.com for something like “cnc 
machining prototyping” or similar and you’ll see what I mean.

I intend to try some of those out, but perhaps someone can do that first :-)

I’ve had very good experiences with both buying from aliexpress.com and with 
ordering PCBs from iteadstudio.com — inexpensive, with quality meeting 
expectations every time. I don’t know why CNC machining would be any different.

To keep this message on subject, I’ve been thinking about a nixie clock with an 
enclosure made from CNC-machined brass, requiring a 5-axis machine.

So, you might want to look at some of those companies and try them out. It 
shouldn’t cost much. And please let us know if you do!

Hi Guys,

Anyone suggest where I can get some little spacers made ( brass preferably ) I 
need 15mm O/D with a 9.5mm I/D hole and 7mm in height. They are to allow me to 
fit some little glass tubes that hold little Neon colon indicators into some 
regular 15mm copper pipe fittings.
It would take someone with a lathe about half an hour, but it isn't something I 
have. I would need 20 of them and clean out of ideas. One engineering company 
quoted me a 3 figure price just to set a lathe up :(

Kind regards,
Paul
