He is now offering it as a service http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1183796

Pretty cool really. Complete accurate builds in minutes, Have any of you guys had any luck talking to a CNC job work co. who could do this here? I know it seems overkill but imagine how much easier DIY builds would be with something like this.

Thats some crazy toolset he uses. Seems like its his workplace so having it done by someone personally would be very hard unless they worked in a similar environment.

Makes me want to do an internship at a speaker manufacturer.

Most of the mass produced items sold today use CNC machines. Be it wood, metal or anything else. I have a CNC plasma cutting machine at my works. We use it to cut metal in desired shapes.
something like this
Torchmate CNC plasma cutters, CNC cutting tables. Automated computer numerical controlled plasma cutting machines cut complex metal shapes.

Cheers!

I was searching for CNC on JustDial and found quite a few "CNC job work" companies. Might be worth talking to them.

Sumit: So you are going to build it for us

There are plenty of google hits for CNC in Hyderabad.
I was able to locate one chap who built a wood CNC
here, but he was not really a helpful sort and it did
not go further.

For Bangalore folks, I posted one contact in a previous
thread. His CNC can easily manage this kind of cutting.

Cutting a perfect circle is not easy without CNC but you can achieve similar results by getting a hole cut roughly to the required dimension then filing and sanding it. The manual work would take hours of work what CNC can do in minutes.

Do you have the CAD drawing for the parts ? If not ,then it also takes time to program the entire thing into a CNC language and it shall be quiet expensive to outsource it to a an engineeing works as they shall charge a lot for this. Its better idea to pool few people who want it together and produce the sub-woofer in larger number , then the costs will come down.
