Need a machining company recomendation.

Need a machining company recomendation.

Need a machining company recomendation.

(OP)
Hi
I work for a research facility in N Florida. We are in the process of putting together an experimental faraday cage with low temperature test equipment.
I am looking for a company that could machine a top plate for our cryostat. The plate is 1" thick and 27" in diameter in 304 SS.
There needs to be alot of machining to to the plate for cryogenic lines and seals.
I have a design draw out in 'solid works' I have tried a few companys from a basic search on the net but the 27" diameter seems to throw most of them. Either that or they give me a 4-6 month lead time (I'm guessing they would rather not take on the job) My budget is 4-5K .
Any help greatly appriciated.

Two firms come to mind:

  -  Withers Mach and Tool, Mableton, GA

  -  Talladega Mach'y & Supply, Talladega, AL

Thanks for the recomendations.
We went with a company called RV industries.
They have done work for us before so we know their quality level.

Thanks again for the advice.
