The biggest problem with trying to offer billet parts for less comes down to production numbers. If you could sell enough of them to make a big enough run of the parts, most likely you could get them a little cheaper. But it still comes down to the run time and material cost which both have a bottom dollar. Most shops have a bottom dollar that they charge for run time and its usually charged by the minute. If you cant produce enough to justify the cost of the machine, its not worth having the machine.
The other problem with billet goodies is that everyone wants polished or annodized parts. But most people do not realize the cost incurred on either one which of coarse drives up the production cost.
I've been looking into all the different Billet accessories out there to see if we can leave our mark somewhere. And really, there are so many manufacturers that offer billet goodies right now that in reality charge great prices, that its not with the design, setup and run time to try to make an extra buck. There is a fair share of high priced billet manufacturers out there as well, but there is also a market for them with the people with deaper pockets.
