Anyone used this company? 

The boss has been looking in to them and want's to know if anyone has any experience with them.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

I used them for a short time.  Turn around is usually 3-5 days.  decent work and fair price.  drawings are not too fussy.  at then end of the day, there are better ways to get work in my opinion.

Can't remember where I read it, but IIRC someone was recently talking about how the quality of their work has gone downhill. I don't have any personal experience, but if I find the original source I'll link it.

Are you looking to buy parts or make parts for them?
Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.

I think he's looking to do a little of both. 

We have a batch of parts that he doesn't want to make and there are around 2000 of them. 

I think he plans on grabbing some work off of there while Boeing is on strike but I'm not 100% sure about that at this point.

I just met a customer that uses them... he ONLY takes the hard parts. He says he does well. He's got 5-Axis machines, skilled machinists amd programmers. 

It's definitely not fir everyone.
