Rochlow.....you ROCK!!!!

Thanks Rochlow!

I have bad news, I can't find a machine shop that will make the parts for less than $75 a piece. That doesn't include shipping to me, polishing, hardware, or shipping to you, and I have to include the vendor fee on this site as well. I don't know if the price of aluminum has gone up substantially since I ordered them a year and a half ago or what the deal is. I bought 50 last time so I think that helped the price somewhat. I've gotten quotes from 4 different machine shops and they are all between $75-$85 a piece. I'll keep checking around but if I can't get them for around $25-$30 a piece then I can't make them. If that is the case I will refund everyone their money.

Thats BAD news! Keep looking though... Thanks

MrClean · 09-16-2010, 07:08 PM

hopefully you'll find someone else...

mahanian · 09-17-2010, 01:03 AM

I think I found a shop that will machine them for $30 a piece plus shipping. I'm going to call my polishing shop in the morning to make sure they aren't going to raise the rates on me. I think this might actually work out

mahanian · 09-17-2010, 11:33 PM

Just to clarify, the $30 per bezel cost DOES NOT include the setup fee that the machine shop charges. They have to take my CAD file and write a code so the CNC machine can make the parts. Please don't PM me asking to pay $30 for an unpolished bezel.

caseymp2001 · 09-18-2010, 05:10 PM

Any word on these looking for one cant see to find one let me know whats up thanks

TobyArnot · 09-20-2010, 09:02 PM

How much for the CAD file? What file format?

mahanian · 09-21-2010, 12:07 PM

The CAD file is not for sale.

I'm hoping to get the machining started this week so they can be delivered the first week of November when I return home.

to us or the polishers?

mahanian · 09-22-2010, 12:00 AM

Delivery to me and then I have to take them to the polisher. I don't expect to start shipping them out till The end of November or beginning of december.

1967stella · 09-22-2010, 02:50 AM

Could we get them un polished ?? I am leaning toward painting it if i can get the paypal stuff worked out

mahanian · 09-22-2010, 03:20 AM

I would prefer to only sell polished ones because they all require sanding to create their final shape and the polisher includes this in his cost. If I don't get them polished I have to sand them myself to finish them.

mahanian · 11-04-2010, 04:55 PM

Well, I'm back home and I contacted the machinist only to find out that he has made zero progress on the bezels. I guess it's like a body shop, when you get a good deal you go to the bottom of the list of priorities.

Unfortunately I only have 60 days to give refunds on paypal so I have to give you all refunds and try to find a different machinist. I apologize for the delay but I've been working 12 hour days for the past 6 weeks and didn't have time to follow up with the machinist. If you are still interested then send me the payment again and I will push hard to get a new machinist this week.

**D.PASSMORE** · 11-04-2010, 05:12 PM

I'm still in! No need for a refund for me at this point...

**Already Gone** · 11-04-2010, 06:05 PM

Me Too !! Keep my money till you get it done.

Lemield · 11-05-2010, 09:11 AM

Thanks for the refund Jared. I've decided to go a different route. Thanks for your time and effort.

dhc871 · 11-05-2010, 11:43 AM

Jared, I still want one and have resubmitted my payment.

hvychvydriver · 11-08-2010, 09:00 AM
