    With the scroll saw you could get sharp internal corners but will a mill/router they would only be as tight as the cutter diameter allows then you're into hand filing. (unless there's a method I don't know about)

    I think you're right, if the volume is low enough then hand cutting is always cheaper than buying or making new equipment

    yes but have you seen the price of a decent scroll saw? lol

    I suppose i could take a chance on a cheap proxxon scroll saw at about £120... but you always hear "buy cheap, buy twice" :)
