    CNC gantry cutout help

    I am currently designing my cnc router and need some assistance in cutting out the 2 sides of the gantries. I drew the gantries in Google sketch and am looking for someone that has a router that can cut them out for me. I don't have any means to get these cut and have them accurate and square when done. I'm looking for someone that could cut these out of 3/4" MDF. I'm willing to pay, so if anyone is interested please shoot me an estimate. Thanks

    I'm circling two places where you'll need to tweak some. A 3 axis cnc can't do square inside pockets like that. You'd need someone with a cnc laser for that.

    If you were willing to break your design into 2 or 3 pieces to be glued together afterwards, I could help you out. I'm currently limited to a 9x9 or 9x11 working area. You would have to show your appriciation by buying me one aluminum working endmill They can be had for under 20.
