Now on top of circuit is a new issue.

Thank you for all who replyed to that post that forum that I got link for should help with it

I am now looking for a milling workshop preferably in UK or USA.
That can make something to order by using dimensions I give them
And make a few items only not an industrial scale per hundreds at once

Any ideas?

Use your favorite search engine to search for "online 3d printing".

What items need making? Shame I used to manage a small scientific workshop but now I'm somewhere else, still in engineering, if you send me some drawings I'll have a look I have a lot of contacts in the industry.

Maybe find a Youtube Machinist.. I bet they are looking for projects if a cool video could be made of it...

here's one of my favorites:

Ball Bearings from solid brass
No steel or any other alloys only Brass
Outside dia - 60-70mm
Inside Dia - 40-50mm
Thickness 15-20mm
Brass because it needs to be alloy that is totally magnetically innert.
Well need from brass.
Please say if you know anyone who can make 4-5 of them to order.
Thank you

I phoned them and they don't do ball bearings
Only other bearings but not ones with balls.

any reason you need a ball bearing over a roller thrust bearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_bearing)? (which is what I assume they make) the difference is pretty minimal unless you are spinning something @ 30,000+ RPMs

do you know what kind of load you expect on the bearing? ball bearings are a fairly new invention & are just a slight improvement over roller thrust bearings (regular bearings).

It has to be a ball bearing.
I can't say much about it
I can say it is something that might open zero point
So yes it makes a difference here between success and fail
Thank you for the help I guess we won't it any time soon
