Also why would you recommend the cnc mill to make sheet metal parts if a brake isn't on the list? I guess you can make just flat parts but at that point you might well just buy the gussets from vexpro or other vendors.
I feel the team here needs to understand what machines they got and how to combine their machining capabilities with cots components. We have both a cnc mill and router in house. We rarely produce true sheet metal parts (bent) due to the fact we can't consistently bend the parts.

Would smaller (say roughly 1' x 1') sheet metal parts be appropriate for a CNC mill? Something like a side support on a manipulator or shooter? I ask because our team may be building a shooter during the offseason and we were hoping to use a CNC mill to cut a structure out of sheet metal.
