Machine shop services
« on: December 05, 2011, 18:59:19 »
I use a company in Lebanon, D and E Machine. for my jobs that I need done at work, and this shop did the machine work for my DIY LED fixture.  I spoke to the owner over the weekend, and he said that he'd be happy to drill heatsinks and the like for any of us, and cost is $0.50 per hole, and will be done on a CNC machining center to print.  100 holes for 50 LED's, 50 bucks.  This is something I've set up, if you need acrylic machined, heatsinks drilled and tapped, and so forth, they are friendly and quite reasonable to work with.  You can reach the shop at 513.932.2184.  Drop my name so that they can reference any special pricing for you, and I pass the shop on my way to work every day, so if you decide to use them and don't want to make the trip to Lebanon, you can drop your drawings and materials off at the house and I can arrange to get it to the shop and back.  I've been doing business there for almost 15 years, and the owner cuts me some decent pricing slack, so I may be able to get you a decent deal.  There's nothing in this for me, I'm offering this as something for the club.

Let me know if you need more info.

Agreed.  That's why I worked this out.
