"To whom it may concern, I just received my initial order (test run for one prototype) of 55 pieces. The machining is excellent, the parts are absolutely perfect. They fit together exactly as I had planed and designed. The machining stayed well within the tolerances allowed, and the parts turned out just as I had hoped. I have already assembled ..."
