Had you considered using laser cut parts from a place like SendCutSend? Conservatively guessing approximately $300 in cut parts if using 6061 aluminum.
- acyou 4y agoIncluding the coating, deburring, secondary machining, and German cost of living and materials, I imagine the price of the plate set must have been more. Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to mill these, they should really water jet or laser. Does SendCutSend have a water jet? Do they ship overseas? What would the air freight cost on that large package? Those machined shafts would have been expensive. Nice to get them for free.
