I agree with you 100%.....but the unfortunate fact is, a lot of machinists don't keep up with what is modern, PLUS a lot and I mean a LOT of machine shop customers don't give a **** and only want what's cheapest....not saying that's the case with the OP, just making an accurate statement. Thirdly, some machine shops will argue with you when you tell them how YOU want something done. That's when I move one. The one I am currently using is owned by a grumpy old fart older and grumpier than I am and he does it just like I ask.
