    what do you use to cut them? a 20,000$ CNC or do you have a tabletop one?
    id love to get back into this stuff and make my own, i use to use CNC all the time back in school, but i just dont know where to get one for cheap.

    seems the word CNC and CHEAP don't like to go hand in hand...

    some are bigger than a car, others the size of an old tv, and the price between them is huge. i dont need anything too special, and the smaller one at school i cant find anywhere.

    you can buy a mill at grizzly.com from $600 to $1300 range... all seem to be the same sieg manufacturer from china...

    In Morris County, so quit hating on Jersey . I used a CNC that I built in my basement (which used to be an X2 from harbor freight). Here is the link to the build.

    The SR2 block I made also and the link is in my sig. The finish was obtained via bead blasting with glass beads. Also I finally got around to engraving the piece
    Fresh after milling it:

    yeah I was looking for a waterblock in the future for my Maximus IV Extreme-Z (whatever the Z77 version is) but i didnt know if you made them. That's a sick finish on that SR-2 Block though

    nateman, do you do this professionally?

    are you open to taking custom jobs?
    i'm in North Bergen County... which is just one county east of you... and many counties away from the shore

    I take custom jobs all the time. What are you thinking about? I have a work envelope of about 11x7 until I finish building my larger machine.

    As for doing this "professionally"... I do not. Just do them in my basement. Self taught kind of thing.

    All PM's replied too. Sorry for the delays - I don't get auto-notification of a PM. You best bet is to e-mail me.
