    Need CNC Machine for lightweight Chassis

    Newbie Question - First Post - I want to build lightweight electronics chassis out of aluminum. I am currently building everything from pre-folded boxes, typically of 3/32 soft aluminum, using a drill press and chassis punches.

    I already have a product and customers and not a lot of time to develop my own machine. Is there something simple and robust that I could use to make holes on three sides of an aluminum box. I don't mind doing this in a few steps but I do need the clearance for a chassis box that is 10 x 20 x 3. I would like to find a finished unit ready to operate, Software, and interface, all in one package. Any thoughts?

    Robert, what is the part quantity, and your budget?
    It may be cheaper to "own the data" and sub out the cutting, there are many out here with machines.
    Been doing this too long
