Re: Machine Shops in the Bay Area?
Just go to google and search for CNC Machine Shops near Los Altos, ca (or try Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Menlo Park, San Jose, etc). There should be tons of them. I would highly recommend driving around and talking to the companies directly. If you call you will NEVER get anyone to help. I do this every year for 968 and we usually net about 4 shops out of about 15 that I visit.

Another option is try De Anza, Foothill, Evergreen Valley College, Canada, and San Jose City College. See if they have CNC classes that someone could enroll in and have the professor help program the machine and have the student load the parts. These classes usually work out well because they are normally in the evening/night so students can go over after school.

Just a few thoughts. Good luck.
