those can be punched and welded no problem

no need for fancy laser cutting with simple stuff like that. you could even knock your own up no problem, instead of welding just use counter sunk bolts on the main bar to hold the plates on.

3d proto and milling is well ott and of no use so save your cash and buy some plate and round bar instead.

Sh I agree with bibio.
The plate will be under a tenner for a offcut

This is what costs money, the material and machine time (once the program has been proved) is peanuts, comparatively.

CNC is only appropriate where the machining is too complex ...

Is there another way to interpret the above that I'm missing?
