Re: How can I machine this?
So, how did you end up doing it? Out of curiosity, and because I have a similar project in mind.
Re: How can I machine this?
There is a plugin for cambam for cutting flat, round and sloped surfaces in 2.5D.
you can find the plugin in the scripts and plugin area in the cambam forum, the name is "Curved Surface Plugin for CamBam"

I think CamBam don't support plugins.

There are tons of plug-ins for CB. Some of the current features are past plug-ins. While it has a primary design team of one lots of users write plug-ins for various things. One of my favorites is the thread milling plug-in.
As to the original project posted. A jig is certainly the best way to cut the part in my opinion, but 3D machining would work with the limitations mentioned. It could also be done with 2.5D machining as CB has a native ability to profile with an angled side wall from a polyline.
