it's realistic?

[tlyee63]

I want a cnc router that can cut 3d rc helicopter blades- approx 2 inches wide but 12 inches long and about 3/4 inch thick.I also plan on cutting some carbonfiber sheet stock.
Is it realistic to make my own? what cost and time are we talking about? I live in hawaii and everthing will prob have to bought online- paradise till you try to buy something-yesh.
The blades are basically and airplane wing-flat bottom profiled top
Any help would be great-esp if you give cost/accuracy/reliabilty pluses/minuses etc

My blades have the same profile from root to tip. If this is your case, i suggest you buy one of these very cheap electric hand planers. Let a grindshop make two airfoil shaped set of blades, one for the top, another for the bottom. Then make a jig to run the planer in while shaping the blade.

never thought of that? mine are the same profile from tip to root,How much was it the have the blades reground? How long are they lasting? What should I look for in a planer?
