[time-nuts] Machining some aluminum help!

[cdelect at juno.com]

Hi,

I have a square aluminum tube 5" X 5" with a .25" wall it's 8 1/2" long.

I need 20 holes in each end tapped for 4/40 and 1/2" deep.

This is for a Rubidium project.

The local machine shop want's $360.00!!!!

Anyone have a machining setup that could do the work a bit cheaper?

If not I'll give it a try myself.

Please contact me off list.

Thanks!
