CNC Shop San Diego Area?
I need to find a local CNC shop in the San Diego area. The shop I normally use is booked up for the next few weeks.
I build these azumaya / gazebos with a 'draped' roof,
Gazebo_Kit, Kits for Gazebos - WoodsShop
and all the rafters and roof pieces need to be cut by CNC as each rafter has a different shape depending where it is in the compound curved roof. Most all the pieces are cut from 2x12 clear KD VG western red cedar, 1 5/8" thick. Some of the rafters are 8' 8" long.
I have the dxf files, and I do about one of these a month.

Re: CNC Shop San Diego Area?
My usual cnc shop has been doing a pretty good job cutting this VG wr cedar, only real problems happen when the wood is still a little wet inside, leaving a fuzzy cut.
But now I might be taking this to a new shop. What would be the best type of 1/2" router bit to use on this (sometimes) splintery cedar?
two, or three flute, downcut, upcut? Brand of router bit??

Maybe call your local tool vendor and ask what shops could do this for you. Should be able to give you information on best tooling for the job also.

Oh we have quite a few tool outfits around here, did you mean a cnc vendor? That's a good idea.
How would I find those? What are some common cnc makers, I bet there are a lot these days??
