Can anyone point me to a suitable outfit who can quote from an illustration to turn a simple part please?

I don't want to pay for micron-precision, titanium exotica out of some high end engineering specialist because I've already wasted enough time talking to the 'wrong' outfits.

I'm happy with .05mm tolerances, CDS pipe as the material, only x32 of the same item are required at the moment but if all goes well a quote for x400 and x800 would be invited unless those larger quantities aren't of interest.

Overall dimensions are approx 50mmx25mm. Any takers or suggestions as to who might be appropriate, please? (ie, small, helpful outfits preferred)

Where are you based?

What are the dimensions as well? Lenght?

Just realised that you have put some dimensions in the post. We can do this on a new XYX CNC lathe and are a very small company so are highly competitive. Please PM me. Location less important i suppose as we even ship to Europe and have fairly quick turn around times. Your basic spec details and volume are no problem. Would like to know though. Hope to hear from you. Again not an advert just trying to help.
