Hello. A friend of mine is having problems getting a caster for his metal 6mm Sci Fi range. The first chap was good but it seems suddenly stopped casting for no apparent reason and the second guy has increased the price of each 'spin' to unsustainable levels. Soooo does anyone know of a good casting company/person that can take his orders? Suggestions? Email addresses? Links? Thanks. |

Forrest Harris from knuckleduster.com He doesn't list this as a service on his Website, but he's very professional and a pleasure to work with. |

Thanks very much for the prompt replies! I should have said the chap is based in London. I shall pass on the suggestions. |

Thanks very much for all that. An update – SgtsMess has come up trumps and though it means so price changes at least stuff is back in production! |

All companies in the USA have had to increase their price per run as well. |
