Title: Custom CNC cut bartop cost?
Post by: shaolindrunkard on December 13, 2017, 02:24:29 pm

I'm just curious, I have a potential future project in my head and I'm wondering what it might cost. I'm kind of tired of cutting my projects myself and getting less than accurate cuts because I am after all human... If I wanted a bartop, same approximate size and the same amount of pieces as a normal bartop, just with a different side profile how much would it cost me approximately to have it cut in a CNC shop.

I'm figuring there's material cost, then cutting cost and then shipping to my location (USA) if I didn't get it done locally.

Thanks

How many players and what size monitor?

Also what material?

I can give you a pretty good quote based on that info.

1 player, no button holes needed. Probably MDF. And probably a 17"-20" monitor.

Anything else needed or just the MDF?

I'm not sure what you mean, like plexi for the monitor or something? Probably just the MDF.

Yeah like plexi / t-molding etc.  If it's just the MDF probably could do $150 shipped, as long as you aren't in Hawaii or Alaska.

Wow, that's very reasonable. Okay thanks for your time. I may contact you sometime in the future about this. By the way would I need to design it in something like Sketchup or would it need to be CAD file or something?

CAD (dwg or dfx) works best for me.
