Let's remeber that CNC's do not make parts FOR you; they make parts WITH you. A lot of newcomers to machining (not that Matt is by any means) get into the habit of saying "Oh, let's just do it on the CNC." Well, it's not that simple. Everyone should realize that a great deal of programming goes into making even the simplest part and a lot of thigs could be done more simply and quicker on a good 'ol manual.
