    Laser Cutting

    Can anyone recommend a good laser cutting service, that will do a small quantity (50) of parts for a reasonable price?

    I just saw a post on accurateshooter where small parts were EDM'd. Looked amazing.

    Water jet cutting may also work.

    Never used these guys but I have heard good things.

    You need to have cad drawing or be able to make a drawing using their very rudimentary "Parts Builder".

    What do you want cut out? This and material will have a part in determining the method used. wire edm, laser, water jet, and even cnc plasma cutter may do what you want. 50 parts while not huge should justify writing the program and set up

    Where are you located? My former employer used to get small batches cut at Trenton Sheet Metal in New Jersey. In eight years I never heard a complaint.

    That's them. I don't know if they'll have exactly what the OP needs but CountryGent is right, best thing is to tell them what the project is.
