[QUOTE="mrcadcam, post: 70617, member: 4181"] Depends how many you do @ a time. Only needing 1 to 2 disks a week, just buy them $15 to $30 a disk is not much overhead. People asking for somebody to make them a disk for $5 .....let alone $2 is just plan retarded. The machinery end of it depends on how you want to make them, you can either mill them out or do it the old fashioned way with press's and lathes. I say in an hours time.....doing the manual way........you could pop out about 50 of them. If you need the lip on a 98, 2 or 3 min added per disk still manual. Doing it with a $1,000 mill, depends upon how fast you can feed it ;) If you recycle the disks it can be a pain because you have to strain the wax for containment's. If doing white don't even bother with recycling it. Thats mainly why you see no vendors selling white, it needs to be super clean every time. [/QUOTE]
