Thaler machine is good, we do buisness with them all the time thru work… I’d also reccomend AMC Precision machining in Tonawanda. Not sure if they do that type of machine work (although, I’d think that they would) but we’ve never had a problem with them ---

Bad experience with them^^^ I even worked there. Had a SBC built. Babied the breakin. STILL spun a bearing. They told me…“tough shit” “sorry 'bout your luck.” Jan Cen on the other hand built me a 3800. It failed (had a knock to it from start up) Told them about it. Rebuilt it for free only telling me I had to pay for rings. I’ll DEF. go back to them again. ---
