ryyy Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I'm having trouble locating some local CNC shops that could possibly do some mdf machining for my pit. I have plans in CAD and would like to get some work done! Any Californians out there who can point me in the right direction? I'm not looking for only shops but if you actually know a person that maybe runs a mill in their garage and could help out, that will definitely work too. I would actually prefer a privateer since I am interested in watching how milling works. If so, please post up or send me a pm!

HitchHikingFlatlander Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I live south of Stockton and have a friend who works in a machine shop but doesn't own it and I'm not sure how large or small an operation it is. They did allow him to build his BMX bike on his own time/cost. What do you want built? That would be a good starting point in asking for help. http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad

HitchHikingFlatlander Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 You say that as if I should be able to read your mind...... no offense. I'll ask my buddy the next time I see him. He's a riding friend of mine and I might not see him for a couple weeks or so, FYI. Been working out of town. http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad

Do I qualify as a mind reader now? :lol: These lads do prototype stuff but I think they might be more metal than wood ;) http://www.sertecprecision.com/ We have agents in San Diego but we do the electronics for CNC machines not quite what you are after.

Ahhhh I am really sorry, I didn't mean it that way of course <3 But yeah, no shops return my call or answer my emails that I can find locally :mad: I found one but they are about an hour away and sound like they aren't really interested in helping me out -_-x Edited September 28, 2011 by ryyy
