Chitrod, to be honest, I don't think anyone here is running that spacer. It looks good, but I still have the same questions as I mentioned above.

Esun, our shop burden rate is $95.00 an hour. This is a 300 person, cradle to grave, machine shop / repair station. I recently was looking for an older Matsurra 760 twin spindle CNC mill to run in my garage. Total cost, including installation, $78,00.00 out if my pocket <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />! Even a simple Engine Lathe would run $10,000.00 to have tooled up and running. Any guy who has a shop and overhead to keep up with, I applaud them, it's tough. Don't take this personally, it certainly isn't meant that way, you're right, a guy that has his shop costs down can make nice bucks. However, having the responsibility of running a machine shop, it's a mutha.

If Protech did all the applicable research on these to make them work, then $90.00 isn't bad...
