    Southern California

    Hi all,

    is there anyone located in Southern California who wouldn't mind milling some Aluminium for me?

    The problem with building a router is that you really need to bootstrap it, like Balsaman did. ie. build a simple wooden one and then use it to machine parts for a better one.

    Thanks for your help
    Phil

    You can carefully cut aluminum on a tablesaw. Use a fine toothed carbide blade. Wear saftey glasses.

    I wish it wouldn't crash.

    and use saw wax or a mister.

    Don't be too alarmed, it will be very loud, ear plugs are your friend...

    I live next door to you (Mission Viejo) and grew up in Lake Forest. Send me a PM and I'll give my email and see what I can do for you. I won't have any machine time available until the 1st week of 2004.
