Well normally I would chop them on my table saw and then come back and cut to size on my router table... But this job I was pressed for time so I sent them to my buddy who has a cnc router in his garage and had him cut it all... Cost me a pretty penny but saved me a week of labor... It would have took me a week and he cut it all in 4 hours... Let's just say he made a grip "dr wages" haha.... I really need to get me one someday... You figure $100 a sheet to cut is great granted all these parts but when they cut 8 sheets in 4 hours your like sheesh what the heck!!!! Lol :tongue:

He gets them local due to high shipping rates (He said this one page back I think) Makes a lot of sense I had to order a sheet once, no one has opaque black near me. I hate it when it costs more to ship something than to purchase it.

I know it's local. That's why I'm asking. I need to buy weld on 4. If I could find it in vegas that would be great. No shipping just a drive.
