[sdiy] Blank Frac Rack Panel Supplier?

[Oren Leavitt]

Same here - Back in 2021, I bought one of those Chinese "6040" CNC 
routers with the heavy duty water cooled 1.5 kW spindle. I paired it up 
with a PC running LinuxCNC. It was pain to configure and get the speeds 
right, but solid and reliable once everything is dialed in. I use 
Autodesk Fusion 360 for CAD/CAM.

Spent $1,500+ on it, but well worth it if you're going to make a lot of 
panels.

The largest panel I made on this was a Moog 960 sequencer clone.
