[QUOTE="Jake, post: 362591, member: 34"] The cnc companies are charging mostly from machine time plus setup. The guys that I was having do waterjet stuff for me when they would put the drawings in flow it would tell them what to charge for each piece. They always cut me a deal, quite a few times they let me run the machine when they were busy. I was scared to hell running it though since a nozzle collision meant a new $700 nozzle, but the company got sold and the new guy got rid of the waterjet and there parent company does the cutting now. I have been looking at options on the guides. I still think for now I am going to do the angle aluminum on angle aluminum since I have the material and the extruded aluminum is very true. I was looking at the Gecko cnc parts, and ball screws, I always draw all my parts in cad now so I can make full 3d models. There have been some things that I have sent to the 3D printer which is cool. Like you said about having to pierce holes at certain coordinates I print with my laser printer onto acetate paper, super glossy photo paper, or parchment paper then mist the piece you want the pattern on with acetone. then lay the paper printed side down squeege with fiberglassing or bondo squeege and peel the paper back. Your pattern is on the material you want it on, I do very intricate patterns this way and very accurately, this will just have to work till i get some other stuff out of the way to go CNC. I have been thinking of some other ways to build the guides but for now this will work, some trick guides will be made later.... [/QUOTE]
