Re: Any good cheap Dallas Machine Shops?

Cheap and 5-axis work are two thoughts that probably don't belong in the same sentence.

Gotta agree with Kevin, if your product is targeting FRC consumers and requires a 5 axis mill to make it's either poorly designed for manufacturing or far too complex.

Hourly price is also a worthless number unless you know how many hours the shop will quote. I could charge $40/hr and use a manual mill and lathe and take 40 hours to make one part, whereas someone else could charge $150/hour and take 5 hours to make the part with advanced CNC machinery.

I'm obviously pulling those numbers out of thin air, but you get the point.
