    I think this is the right section: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=74

    I bet someone around you who has a CNC router would do this for you, try searching the forum for your city (assuming you're in/near one) to try to find a person local to you and send them a personal message.

    i live in the ocala national forest im about 40 miles from any city bigger than a football field lol. so its cheaper to just have it made and shipped than pay gas

    Are CNC machines the only answer these days?

    I could make that part out of MDF in 3 hours or less using a table saw, saber saw, a sharp file, a pencil & a compass!

    What ever happened to the basic skills of hand tooling?

    Just my opinion!

    It's not what you take away, it's what you are left with that counts!

    Eric is right. That template isn't complicated enough to justify CNC unless you want bazillions of them made. For making a few of them, hand tools would easily do the job. The inside hole can be cut with a scroll saw once the lines are drawn with a pencil compass and a straight edge.

    If your physical limitations prevent you from making this template yourself then you are right to request help with it.

    Basic skills are one thing, what if he doesn't have the basic tools? I agree, that with my table saw, jigsaw and good old-fashioned router, I could make them in short order. Without those basic tools it would be impossible.

    I'm in Oregon but I'd gladly make it for you - shipping would make it outrageous, but the part would be negligible.

    If anyone visited the site RCBenclosures.com I can hardly believe that they didn't or don't already have the ability but might be exploring a new method?. I've had a few jobs where people came to me to do something because they were trying a new method or new idea of making something. So perhaps in the past they would do it on their own

    After looking at the web site I'm gonna guess that the template is to be used to cut more parts using a hand router. The final part may be thinner than 3/4" MDF, It may even be some kind of gasket material.

    I've built a few of my own speaker designs in the distant past and the wrap around slot bass reflex port design shown on that site looks interesting to me.

    I can make the template in 30 minutes if I had some scrap MDF laying around.

    this is actually for a customer and he requested it be made with a cnc machine. i found a guy in orlando did it for 15 bucks.

    i use similar templates but mine are made out of 1/4 inch aluminum
