I know where you are coming from. I have a moldmaking shop. One day a guy comes in and asks me to make a special stepped heat treated bushing for his boat engine or trans part. By the time I turned it up, heat treated, honed the I.D. and ground the O.D., the price was around $100. The guy didn't want to pay it. I said "fine" and tossed it in the garbage. I told him I could have made 3 for pretty much the same cost. He did ask me to take it out of the garbage, and he did pay for it. He didn't want to wait a couple of weeks to get one from the factory. I paid $100 each for collets for an old Gorton pantograph... This was 12 years ago. The factory made them upl I didn't even complain, because I knew they would have cost me more to make them, and they probably wouldn't have been as concentric as these were.
