Any metal shop employees in the house?

I need a couple aluminum adapter plates made (roughly 3" x 5") that may need a CNC-cut oval in the middle of them. I have mockups made, but I don't have access to the tools needed to make the actual plates. Anyone able to help?

Nope. Wanted to see if any i-clubbers had access.

i know a guy, he has his own cnc for metalwork, but he's not an i-clubber. in fact, he's always telling me how his souped up neon is faster. lemme know if you want the hook up.

Nope. Just a rough hand-drawn template.

Exclamation Whats your time frame?

How soon do you need the parts?

Although it is probably too late for you; it looks as if I am getting a Bridgeport Mill in the next week or two and looking to order a CNC Mill a couple of weeks after.

I will be looking for small projects to help these machines pay for their keep.

Thanks for the offer. I just sacked up and did it myself. May not be pretty, but the results are what I wanted and the parts aren't visible anyway. Nothing a Dremel and 1.75 hours of patience couldn't solve.
