I want to be able to make my own punch/dies to cut shaps from .015" steel. In the past I have contracted this work out to machine shops; however I want to make the dies at a lower cost by machining them myself. The dies would be faily small - 3"x5". The clearance we usually specify are .003" .
What I want to know is can a desktop CNC machine like the tormach or the CNC Jr. Table Top Mill make such parts.
Any advice?
