Machine materials?
This may not belong in here, but it seemed like the best way to get info from the dealers
I'm just wondering where those who design and machine custom parts (like bodies) get their materials? What materials would you need to design a custom body for instance? Do you have a vendor you go through to buy the aluminum? Is it a solid piece or can you find tubes that work for paintball?
Also, for some of the nicer bodies out there you require a 5 axis c&c machine. Can anyone give me an idea how much these cost?
Thanks!

4 axis CNC covers pretty much everything

Here is a 5 axis mill starting at $142,000 don't forget you will need tooling and vices plan on about $15,000 to $20,000 for that.

Thanks all!
So is a 4 axis really all you need to make custom parts or os a 5 axis preferrable?
