Short contract work for a machinist

Oct 12, 2009 12 Replies

I'm looking to hire someone to build an aluminium part for me. I will provide engineering drawings of it.



You should have access to your own machine tools and source the aluminium billets and rods yourself.



The component is fairly simple so it shouldn't take more than half a day to make. A saw, milling machine and lathe are necessary to produce the part.



Please send me an email if you are interested in the job.


Sounds like a coded message for a h--iii--tt---mmm---aa--nnn to make a weapon just incase you know who is listening.

Sorry I can't help.

The wild geese fly at midnight.

Please don't condemn the work before you or other people have even seen the engineering drawings.

It will be fairly obvious that it isn't intended to be a weapon.

The work is entirely above board and everything will be paid in a traceable manner for both our protection.

Try Rossington Light Engineering

You're probably more likely to find people with the necessary tools and skills on uk.rec.models.engineering

You should find some capable bods for this in:- uk.rec.models.engineering

Despite the groups name there is some heavy machinery involved.

ask the machinist if he can make you up a sense of humour while he's at it. :)

What about Matty F and his angle grinder :-)

If you need lasercutting etc, try laser_4 snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.co.uk - I have used them several times and they are quite cheap. They do not do CNC work however. Might be useful for certain work. No connection with them, they used to cut aluminium sheets for me with various 'oles from just a 2D CAD drawing.

Nah - we only work cash in hand in uk.d-i-y

Do they need to lighten up too then ?
