We're in Washington. I can put you in touch with our sales guy if you'd like. We've got a couple of surface grinders that are never that busy. A little further away than what you'd like, I'm sure but guaranteed good work.

I should have asked when he called. but it is too hard to get a hold of him. took two weeks to call back (G) and he is not in Portland.

DSU Peterbilt over on Swan island has a long history of machine work repair of diesel engines where tolerences are in the .0000's I would think they could make a recommendation. Also perhaps a call to the local INTEL factory to talk to a FAB supervisor might come up with someone.
I have a contact for a water and laser jet cutter and they often need machinists as well.

If you haven't found anybody yet, a number of years ago I had a serious problem while passing through The Dalles. There was a machine shop that did some really nice work for me there at a good price in very short order. IIRC, the name was Dalles Iron Works.
I know they are a bit east of you, but any port in a storm, etc.

well a miracle today. I get a good list of shops to go too and I have to open up the box of Japanese irons. I had not opened them as why since I thought I would be shipping them again. well what do I find but they are pretty much flat. they finally got it right. when you have 2800.00 worth of irons You don't take chances. take care all.
