Cutting shapes out of 1/8 aluminum?

[Keith Upton]

Thanks for the additional info Dave. That at least gives me some specs to be looking for.

I own a CNC Router that will cut aluminum with ease but as I said earlier it will leave a nasty edge that has to be de-bured which is not an easy task for the small parts Keith Upton needs to have fabricated.
.

Here is 1/4" 6061 alum on my DIY Joes machine I built. Edges are perfect. Not sure why you are getting those edges Keith.

Dave has is pegged. You need 2500W type equipment. Look up sheet metal shops in your area. Anyone with a laser on one of those shops will be able to blow through those in no time. They'll also be able to bend them up as well.

I have 2 suppliers of mine that do that exact type of thing. I see things like that in stacks all over their shops all the time.

You'll probably get decent pricing around 75-100 units.

My son in law uses this machine - http://www.plasmacam.com/indexfla.php - for his metal artwork and hasn't had any negative results yet
