CNC Services (Phoenix, Az)

I use a local sign company to router in names and things like that in some of my children’s beds. I have thought about getting one of my own, but don’t have the space and funds, or time to learn it yet. I have tossed around the idea of my murphy bed parts. Just on the verticals they have to be cut, ripped, a cut-out on the back/bottom to clear base molding, 3- 1/4” holes, 2-5/8” holes, 1- 5/16” hole, 2-biscuit slots, and dent for a later screw placement. As you can see a lot of time can be saved with a CNC router.

AZ is not close, but if you were closer that would be great!. Shipping would eliminate the savings. A high quanity would be out of the question because of the 6 different sizes/directions and species of wood. For someone local that would be a plus.

My sign company (they have a small one and can’t do the large panels) charge me $45/hr design time and $45/hr cutting time. I want to say they bill in whole (maybe 1/2) hour increments.

I lease time on two machines at another company. It has worked out well for both of us.It allows me to lever out my time without an employee and be able to participate in markets otherwise inefficient using classic machinery .Best of all this goes on while I do what I do best – lumberjocking !!!

Thanks guys!! You both have somewhat confirmed what I was thinking and what I am hearing:)
Wow Chris your product has CNC written all over it!! I agree though it does take time, space and money. I wish I could hook you up. You do bring up a good point though as I will now most likley contact the one or two wall bed builders in the valley to see if I can be of some help:)
Socalwood, funny but sooo true let the cnc do the boring stuff while I get to do the fun stuff the CNC can’t, dang that almost sounds like the perfect world, LOL

Thanks again for the input guys!!

Well the time has finally come:) I just recently finished assembly of the machine and have been completing small shop projects.

This was a small tool box I completed for an onsite finish repair. I needed something to hold some supplies so what the heck:)

Thanks,

Looks like a great setup. Nice job. What did you buy and are you going to post a review.

Karson,
Thanks! I went with a 48”x96”x6” Shop Bot. After I get a little more time on it I will surely post a review:)
