You are taking it wrong. As far as I'm concerned, these guys that say "they can't do it", really can't do it. I do not see how a real machinist couldn't do that simple job. Now if they are just lazy, too busy to bother, are in some kind of a union, or it's against someone else's rules, then it's actually "won't do it". You originally asked about skill level... "is it really that difficult?" , so I thought that was where you were coming from. Lack of skills. Find a small shop that needs the work, or like Professor Fate said, maybe a technical school.

Fair enough, I apologize for my reaction, but the shops I have called "can" do it, but it will take time out of better paying jobs and they don't have the fixtures in place like the "Profs" son does.

I posted here so I might find the small mom/pop shop that would look at this as something they could do as filler. I have seen and known some pretty talented machinists who won't risk there machines for a one off. I get it. Like I said, if I had my own mill, even a bench mill, I'd knock it out in a heartbeat. I'm not making a living with my machines though.

Thanks again.
