Lets say I want to make some jewelry (Commercially), the idea

Lets say I want to make some jewelry (Commercially), the idea would be very simple machine cut pieces that have a much more industrial feel to them, I would shot/vapour or polish the surface myself (I have a small Shotblasting shop)

My question is what are the economics of this like?

Say at first I want to test 5 or so designs with a few samples of each, in different materials (Copper, Brass, Steel, Silver), what does the process of getting them machined for me entail and cost?

Wrong board. /biz/ is where you go for all the numbers bullshit. Especially if you don't want to actually tell us where you live. Prices vary considerably based on location. Be sure to include that info in your next post on biz.

Sure I get what you are saying, but I am not looking for info on commercial viability, I am wondering if anyone here has had stuff made from any of the materials I listed milled before in small numbers, this seems like a more likely board for that than /biz/.

Also I am in London

No. /biz is a shitty fucking containment board rand by mods running a shitcoin pump and dump scam. And any real /biz goes there and gets shrieked at. FAKE TIMESTAMP!! REEEEEE.

I have 4 fucking houses and 6 fucking cars. I was sitting on the hood of my 3 bros ford raptors and got shreiked at and called a fatass. This is 4chan. I expected it. But i ledt after post 150 and nothing but autism. Janitorbro is the only reason to go there if u wanna seek him out. Otherwise it is worse than be.

Fuck that place with a rusty sword

I dont mill anything but for like 500 usd or so u can buy a jewlers forge and cast then polish your shit. Jewelry is kind of an overdone niche market i think but hey, make something you or your wife or a friend might like and keep a tally of time and cost. Thy and sell it or give it away and duplicate it for sell. If nothing else u wasted time making a few rings. Oh well right?

So you want to mill ring blanks for a profit essentially?

Sounds like a losing proposition if you don't bring something unique to the table. If we're talking fine metals, it isn't worth milling because the weight loss is too high. You'll spend tens or hundreds of thousands on equipment to manage your gold or silver dust, so you'd need to have a massive scale operation to offset that. Even with base metals, your margins are gonna be extremely low, because ring blanks arent worth squat. You're talking about making something that will be sold at a flea market because you're not adding value through craftmanship, design or precious metal.

You do you, though.

I am simplifying the idea massively, there are design features, I just wanted to get across how they are not complex designs to mill small detail wise.
