Re: Any good cheap Dallas Machine Shops?

Generally speaking, laser cut parts are going to be vastly less expensive than 5-axis milling. If you need 5-axis milling, you'd better have a really good product. I'm afraid to ask what on earth you're planning that would need 5-axis milling. I mean, I'm pretty sure AndyMark's entire inventory is done without resorting to a 5-axis mill. I'd strongly encourage you to stick to laser cutting and maybe 3-axis milling as your machining operations.

At this point, I'd really suggest you talk to Andy Baker, as he has all sorts of experience taking product from design to profitability.
