any indication $$$$

Not yet. I have confirmed CNC person has received it though. I am hopeful I will get some idea from him at some point next week or early the following. Good CNC folks work with you when they are ready to work with you.

Crossing my fingers for news on this project for this upcoming month!

[Watchmeister]

Now just waiting on the CNC shop to free up to look at the piece and give me a quote for laser scanning, prototype, etc. These projects are never big enough that a CNC shop will stop what else they are doing so we have to be patient.

Thanks for the update!

+1, any news from the CNC people?

I heard back from the CNC person and unfortunately I am going to have to find another person. The owner of the shop couldn't have been nicer and spent a couple of hours analyzing the requirements. He concluded he didn't have the appropriate machine. In spite of the fact he does a lot of hi tech stuff he doesn't have any machine above a 4 axis. He let me know I need a 6 axis machine (suggested Citizen "Screw" Machine)and that it would require being able to to take 2.75" steel bar as feed. That is a 10,000 lb+ $150,000 machine.He is going to try and find someone in his neck of the woods but otherwise I am on the prowl for another CNC shop. But at least now I know what equipment is necessary. And thus the saga continues....

Thanks for all the leg work thus far! The future of the Pre-V Rep-world lies in your capable hands...

Still in the game. The original CNC person is trying to find the right person and another great member has come with an excellent possible possibility who is into CNC and watches (Panerai if you can believe it) so hope is restored and the search continues.

[eunomians]

This is good news. I would love to be included in a group purchase when these become available. Notice I said "when" and not "if"... I have great faith in you to find the right CNC wizard!

Cheers from an ol' pal
