Anyone Use Emachineshop.com or MFG.com for tool and parts design?

Any experience with them?I recently signed up for both i'm looking to design some tools and parts.

Emachine gives you a free CAD format to design on and sumbit your plans,and MFG primarily let's you source your plans out to different shops around the world.

I Guess not!!

Nope, never used it. I'll just play around on AutoCad if I want to design something.

They have a good reputation. I know of a few people that used them.

I have used emachineshop, and it's a great service. I love the fact that you can design and tweak a part and get pricing updates as often as you like. The prices used to be a lot better than they are now. The prices are on par with local shops now, but it's much more convenient. In my experience, dealing with machine shops on small runs is an absolute nightmare. Shops that will even give you the time of day are often completely un-organized and very difficult to do business with.

My thoughts Exactly. You get the run around trying to produce one part.This is a no hassle service
