| Learn about CNC Machining |

I machine some of the clock enclosures myself on a mill, but the solid aluminum enclosures require some larger equipment. Luckily, I found some very capable machinists at A&T Machining who get the job done with much attention to detail. And, they also let me come down and inspect the box at every step of the process. I took this video of the new solid aluminum being machined:
Here is a little video of a nixie clock enclosure being machined in my shop. This is a very small bench mill, with CNC (computer) control, which I use for milling the enclosures.
This section will be developed over time to share some of the things I've learned about in-home/hobby level machining for the non-machinist. For now, I'll give a few links to some of the popular internet forums about CNC and machining which may be of interest.
