George at GP Plastics & Metal (296 Earl Drive N.W., Warren OH 44483-1112) is very reasonable. He has some health problems but I have found him very reliable and very quick. His phone # is 330-847-2929.

Thanks Brian,

What I'm looking for is Pre-Made, Ready To Go Blanks in small quantities. However, if I ever get to the point where I need larger quantites I'll keep you in mind.

There was talk a while back about having metal parts cut by water jet machines. I do not remember anything about what the minimums might be.

Minimums are normaly down to 1 piece, but the programming charges get ya ;)

Waterjet cuts typicaly leave a bad burr on thin stock aluminum....Harder metals aren't too bad though.

Thanks for that information, never heard that aluminum would give a problem but good to know.

Don,

Identification Plates has a wide variety of dies for fabricated metal plates.

Low set up charges and minimums.

Brian,

That's true. The company has a long history in die cut metal, but it may be limited to smaller pieces.
