The RAWC actually uses 1/8" 6061 Aluminum and gets it waterjetted/laser'd.

Sven, we've used belly pans like 254 did last year.

We actually had these guys cut on a 4x8' Techno Router. Our team has owned one for about 3 years now. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to shoot me an email.
