What does CNC lathe time run out there? I need to have a bunch of bushungs made from UHMW poly for resale as repair kits. Six operations per bushing but it could be cut down to four. Local shop has qouted me $35 each with me supplying the material-1 1/2" round poly stock. Seems like less than 15 minutes lathe time per bushing. I'm close to Baton Rouge, La

Gerry, You should post this over on alt.machines.cnc I feel you would probably get better responses, as many of those folks are shop owners, programmers, professional machinists, etc. You can provide a link to a print and get additional quotes from those folks.
Email me a print. Depending in the tolerance and number of features..Im pretty sure I can get'er done fairly cheaply.
Whats the OD?

How much is a bunch? In this area at least 50 is a bunch. :) 15 minutes a bushing sounds like someone is doing it in a manual. Average little bushing like that 1.5Ø should take under five minutes on a good cnc.
I'd be happy to give you a decent price on them.
