are you looking to have these molded?

[clembrant]

I am looking to have this part machined. I am also only interested in US quotes.

[Chasswen]

i could get a mold quoted for you and it would be done in the usa penna.
probably would be more cost effective.
just let me know.

[clembrant]

I am open to different ideas, but know that this is a one time job.

[Chasswen]

ok i'll ask for the quote and see what happens.

What is your finish and flatness call out? If done the cheapest way in one op the face will have feed lines and probably be concave.

Anyone mind sharing the tooling cost for a mold? It of course will need to be multiple cavity. Molding will look better than machining but at these quantities I would think it would make the per piece price too expensive, unless it went to China. Even if the mold cost $500 machining will beat the price on 1,000 pieces. You also have +\- .0005 on a diameter, I would think the mold would have to be dead on to hold that.

Mold cost up to $150

I see +/- .005...not tenths.

.252/.253 is .2525 +\-.0005

to build the tool and mold 2000 pcs the piece price would work out to 1.28 a piece all said and done.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Job has been awarded to a shop in PA.

[Chasswen]

could you be kind enough to tell us what piece price you got them for?

Once he announced the state (PA), it probably would not be cool to list the price as everybody jumps on the low bidder lately. Polypropylene is too hard to turn burr free in that sized part. I gave him a bar fed price on Delrin at 90 cents, I am assuming the final price was less than that.

I priced it at 32cents molded for 2000 parts, I could of gone a little lower

Thanks for the info, how long is a mold cycle time? Turning time would have been a minute. Next time I need to recognize jobs like this can be molded cheaply and not bother bidding.
