I've learned enough about CNC Routing to know that my business theoretically could make great use of a CNC Router and approximating what type of machine I would want.

But I'm just a bit worried that I'll go through the trouble of getting a machine and learning to use it and then finding that it's not quite producing what I'd hoped it would produce. That would be a big bummer!

I've looked around a bit for CNC routing businesses, but I haven't found one that has a machine with a 4th axis set up.

So my question is.... Is there someone on this forum that would be willing to work with me to produce a few pieces with their machine so I can see what the results would be? I'd would pay for the services of course. And, with a bit of a point in the right direction for what software to use, I would produce the files.

This would be bagpipe parts, but small ones. Things with a round profile that range from 4-14 inches long. And from as little as 3/8" (for part of the length) to 7/8" in diameter.

Thoughts or suggestions?

I'm so sorry. Life threw a curveball and I didn't get a chance to reply for a while, and then I forgot about this!

I would provide the pieces of wood prebored out. I have special equipment for this.

I do 3d modelling with Rhino3d. Could I provide a .stl file or would I need to use something different?

Here's my website. You can see the types of parts O make if you go to my website. bantonwoodson dot com

Here's a few additional photos of pieces I'd be looking to make (just the dark wood part):
