I think that most of us using those types of machinery have either access at work or contact a local company. I have had a couple different companies heling me ($$) depending on what type (thickness) the part will be done from. I have used the laser cut parts because it give me an acurance that I have problem to achive. I don´t have any education on metal working so every step is big for me. But , yes it´s a dream to have a small laser, but hard to see that coming. Maybee a CNC mill is closer (i hope).
Eef, a question about that EDM, it looks like a wire between the heads, how do you get that wire into a hole? And isn´t there another machine that can partly cut through a plate to get difference in height??
