Custom Machined Aluminum Hardware - 6061 Aluminum With M6-1.0 Thread

Custom Machined Aluminum Hardware - 6061 Aluminum With M6-1.0 Thread
Our customer was in urgent need when she ordered this custom machined aluminum hardware and was having a hard time finding anyone to run a small quantity while maintaining a fast turnaround.  We were able to come to the rescue with 24 total pieces and 16 days of lead time to get the parts completed.  This was done without an additional rush charge that could further cut this lead time to 1 week.  6061 aluminum material was used and M6-1.0 male and internal thread was incorporated on all the components.  The parts with the male thread included a slotted drive on the head, which is absent on the other two accompanying parts.
