    (4) pieces of 1/2" plate machined ASAP. RFQ

    I need a rough estimate on how much these would cost to machine. Everything can be cut from 1/2" aluminum plate. Overall dimensions are shown in the pictures for simplicity. If you need more specifics please Private message me. I need a ballpark price. Some of the holes need to be tapped after machined. If you can do this as well it would be a plus but not required whatsoever. The inside square corners i can fillet or chamfer as well if that makes it easier for you to get a endmill in there. please advise. I can modify to accommodate. Plans are 95% done. Very slight modifications will be implemented. I will send you the final plans via email, or post them up in the next few days. For the sake of time though, please shoot me a rough quote.

    I need this done asap. It converts my cnc mill X axis from ballscrew to rack and pinion drive.

    Here is a link to the huge thread i have posted about the rebuilding of my machine if you care to read.

    I am going a different direction. Instead of 1/2" 6061 Aluminum I need someone to use a router or mill to cut the parts from MDF or plastic (1/2"). You can buy a whole sheet of MDF just about at any lowes store or home depot for $20 bucks.
    I'm going to start a new thread, consider this one dead.

    Going to use the routed pieces as a mold and cast them out of aluminum using green sand which i have had great results doing. This opens up the job to almost anyone with a router cnc. The holes do not need to be tapped just bored through as indicated.

    Since this changes things up a bit please Re-apply in the new thread of PM me.

    thank you very much!
