    Hello,

    I am new to Seattle, and I have a little project where I need a little CNC machining. Well, actually, it could probably be done freehand. It is two small plugs about 1" in diameter (cylinder part) with a groove for an o-ring cut into it. Honestly quite easy. I already have the drawing made and some rendered pictures.

    Min qty = 2,

    10 would be ok, but I don't have a need for more at this time.

    Thanks in Advance.

    There should be a few machinists around the Seattle area who have a lathe and mill at home that could do those for a reasonable cost. The setup fees at a production shop might run the cost up beyond budget unless you intend to make many of them later down the road.

    You might want to look at one of the online machining websites. Here's one:

    Looks to me like some sort of distributor blanking plug. I was thinking in order to keep material and machining costs down you may want to consider a two piece design. One would be a plug with the machined groove for a seal and a lip to limit depth with the other as a blanking plate to hold it in place.

    Best wishes for your project.
