They have the general idea but we haven't shown them the details yet. I can definitely change the outsides and the pocketing to 90 deg. angles and mess with the odd left pocket, but my real concern is another part that they will be machining. In the full model I posted you can see there are two spines between the plates that provide compresison for the ball. Those have to be curved to a precise radius. Here is the drawing for the spine. Is making something like that on a manual mill out of the question?

Yep. It'd be a long and "interesting" job to mill that curve.


You're probably going to be better off doing the spines out of a material that can be bent/rolled precisely, taking care of the radius that way, and then drilling the holes.

Or you could rough-cut it with a saw and sand/grind it down, as suggested previously. Use the mill for hole-drilling only (and if it's just that, there's a drill press wanting some attention, I'd assume).
