I am in the process of getting quotes on parts for a prototype I am building for the hunting industry. The problem I am having is that the quotes are coming in too high. Way too high. I realize that there would be a significant cost savings to running large numbers of parts, but, that would create cash flow problems, and if the parts had any problems I would have high numbers of worthless parts.
So, I am considering a pcnc like the Syil X5. Problem is, I don't know anything about machining. So, I would need somebody to help with the setup, programming, and running of the first few. I would pay well for this, as I believe it would cut weeks or months off of a learning curve.
What do you think? Anybody interested? Know anybody? Bad idea?
I live in Boise.
