๐ด๐๐๐How much does a job like that run at retail walk-in rate?
If itโs hardened, youโll want carbide tooling, which can be spendy if you break it. A shell/face mill like was used here works great.
Personally, I probably would have tried to fly cut this with a carbide tool for that extra fancy surface finish!
I would charge $75 or so to do this if I like you. But I only machine as a hobby, and have no idea of going rates for walk-ins.
I wonder what someone with wire EDM would charge. That seems like an ideal and cheap use. Iโve been dreaming of EDM latelyโฆ in a Linsey Publications type of context.
