Custom alluminium machining

[santiclause]

Hey, not sure where to post this, but does anyone know of an online dealer that takes custom orders for machining aluminum or steel or something parts? I would like to have a place that I can submit orders to do custom aluminum caps for tubes and stuff like end caps.

thanks,
Bryan.

Bump up, anyone know how to go about this?

Usually cheaper to find an local source. But http://www.protolabs.com/ has pretty fast quotes.

Awesome, this I think is what I was looking for as long as the quotes are reasonable and things. thanks.

reasonable and machining does not go together lol. You can try emachineshop.com. Some people have recommended them to me but I havent tried them. Try to find a local guy who has a small operation.

Ok, I'll do some research on the two places and see what kind of quotes I get from each, and also look around locally.

Thanks guys.
