CJM Oil Pan

I dont think we will do that, for a few reasons. By the time the part is back from anodizing, the CNC will have been setup for other parts, so it would take a few hours start to finish to do it. Also, I would have to make new fixturing the hold the pan in the CNC after anodizing as the existing fixturing would not work for that because the way it holds the pan in that position gets machined off later. Additionally there is always potential for messing up a part when setting up a new CNC operation.. in this case it would be a part that was otherwise finished and done, which means an expensive mistake. Adding to that, there is a chance of the anodizing chipping off around the edges of machining leaving a rough edge.
