Does anyone have an idea as to costs for cnc milling work? Is it priced on a time basis and what sort of money would you be looking at to get something like a spider made up?

Cheers all  :daumenhoch:

Damn it i knew that was going to be the answer :( i did think about finding some oldtimer engineering type with milling gear but i think one element of what i want to do will need cnc'ing as its a bit fiddly

Cheers Steve, in Manchester unfortunatly but the part i am looking to make isnt large so location isnt that important. It is nice to call in these places though and get to know peeps.

As general info for anyone northern there is a cracking place called general utilities in stockport who do laser, plasma and waterjet cutting. They are very reasonable and dont mind doing one off stuff. some of there waterjet samples through 2 inch steel are amazing. They had a bicycle around 5 inch long with spokes at around 1mm wide cut through the 2 inch stuff!  :shocked:

Hey we should have a thread for stuff like this!  :daumenhoch:
