Re: newbe CAD/CNC question - trying to get past 1st base!

Hi Ken,

So, are you wanting to go into "production" of these parts with CNC? If
so, then you might want to consider making up a "jig" to make it easy to
position the stock for the cuts and drills. I noticed several holes,
these could drop onto pins in an aluminum plate jig or fixture. After
you get your cuts worked out, you will probably want to do several at a
time, doing one step on all of the parts before moving on to the next.

Let's hear how they come out! And what problems/solutions arose!
