    wondering

    Like i was wondering if i have all the software solidworks,mastercam etc.
    And a customer sends me a cad file of a valve cover or something like that .How much work is it to put a block of aluminum or renshape tooling board and machine that part out?
    thanks,James

    Could be as simple as clamping it down and pushing the start button, or it could require multiple dedicated fixtures and multiple tool changes. Depends on the part.
