Anyone have access to a CNC machine?

As I start planning out my build for my altima I have decided I want the spacer rings for my focal utopia's to be aluminum instead of MDF or plywood.

PM me if you can make me 2 spacer rings out of aluminum and what is the cost.

Here is the build thread.

You can use a router to trim aluminum (depending on the grade and thickness). What I did for my amplifier mounting pads was to cut the aluminum as close to the actual dimension needed then I made a jig and followed up with my router, taking 1/8" or less off to the actual size. Then I cleaned up the edges and polished the whole thing. This only works for flat parts, if you want something 3 dimensional then yes, you'll need something machined.
