Yeah, I think there are some real half-assed shops doing machining, but if anyone has a clue, fortunately there are enough really good shops around to deal with to have no reason to deal with the idiots & schmucks.
Fortunately, again, most of those half-assed shops don't normally deal with the high dollar, high end blanks.
The best blank in the world can be easily ruined by whoever is doing the final machining.
