    That displays a massive lack of CNC experience, a suitable CNC Mill will easily make Aluminium plates of that kind.

    I did this work with a Contour Minor CNC milling machine driven by Mach3 and an old 12v Router CNC control box with no PP buffering.
    I just sold the whole system for just less than the sum of it's parts cost with 5 Coventry Easy Change holders and six ER11 10mm shank collets, a 4th axis and a 30krpm high speed spindle :D

    Mass and rigidity are your friends when machining fine detail

    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D
