Any tool makers or metal fabricators out there (cnc)
Submitted by MiSh on Wed, 2010-08-04 14:58
Interested in making some soft plastic lure molds out of aluminium similar to sinker molds. Can get some from USA but shipping is a killer. Just curious if anyone out there has any experience in this feild.

I am a plastic parts/mould
I am a plastic parts/mould designer and have a good contact on company, which does CNC machining. But be aware that it’s quite costly exercise. CNC is around $100/hr. + there is modelling of the part/mould. So you might reconsider the freight from US if you can get what you want off the shelf. PM me if you want, we might come up with something. You might have some interesting idea/plan.
