Default Recommended source(s) for CNC services?
Can anyone recommend a machine shop with 2-axis CNC capabilities? I need a reasonably priced shop interested in doing some low-volume work to support my airplane habit.

I've never used them, but this is very interesting. If the quotes are reasonable, it would be worth a try.

The site appears to "network" small shops with a pool of customers, but I could be wrong.

There are a lot of people over on the CNCZone forums who might be able to provide what you need. There is a forum for posting RFQs (request for quote).

Default CNC machining
I would also be interested in a CNC machine shop to fabricate some fittings for my next airplane project. I will be starting on a Marquart Charger in the near future since my RV-7A is all but finished. I need a lot of 4130 steel fittings made and the previous source has dried up. If any of you know of anyone especially in South Florida, please me know.

Thanks,
Bill Near
