A thou isn't much to brag about. A tenth could be depending on the dimension. It sounds like your shop made mostly little widgets using the cheap labor.

Yeah, we almost never machined any part that was bigger than 18 inches. Mostly aerospace parts. We didn't get the full plans so I don't know what they went into, just that they were for clients like Rockwell, Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed, etc. Some of them were very expensive polymers like Dupont Vespel. Back then that shit cost almost as much as gold by weight. Not sure how much it costs today.

I haven't played around with plastic yet.
Mag, inconel, hastealloy, waspalloy, titanium etc.
