The heat treat and plating shops in my neck of the woods are pretty down to earth folks. The heat treat guys will often place small batchs of parts in with huge batches of parts and only charge a small amount for the service for the small batch since the large batch covers all of the cost of the setup and gas for the oven. I think the plating/anodizing guys around here work pretty much the same way from what I have been told. Oftentimes machines shops do one-off jobs and they bring in a half dozen parts to be anodized and that is it. Come to think of it the local family owned heat treat shop put in an anodizing line a couple of years ago... I forgot about that. I did some controls for one of their induction heat treat machines years ago when the original controller died.
