Where to get CNC work done?

You might check around your community for a job shop that can do what you need.

Look in the Yellow pages under "Machine shops", or ask around some automotive places, or at some farm shops for recommendations.

Just so you know, CNC machine work is going to be expensive. A CNC program has to be written, usually by a programmer, or a Journeyman machinist, and you'll have to have an accurate blueprint of what you want done. Most CNC's are usually involved in production runs, so it will be difficult to find one just for a short run.
Your best bet is to have someone with a manual mill manually machine what you want, and see how well it turns out. Any manual mill machinist worth their salt can make parts that rival any CNC machine out there.

Good Luck!!!

Maybe I should have been a little more clear.

What I am looking for is an established machine shop that has experience working with the above materials and has done some knife related work.

Are there any makers who have had CNC work done by a machine shop? If so, I would appreciate any contact info.

Barry, I believe Ken Onion has parts CNC machined all the time might be able to help you.
