			CNC isn't really necessary, but it would speed up the process.  A good manual mill and a lot of calculations would give the same result.  I could see it being a time consuming part either way.  I know how long it took me to make the deck plate for my truck, with a lot of perfectly spaced holes.  I did it over the course of a few nights, for an hour or two.  Since this is plastic, it would take a little more work to clamp the material and keep it flat too.  All of this could be overcome easily enough.  3.2mm diameter is .125", which is not that small, and a very common sized end mill.  That helps a lot.  Glad Russ is willing to help you.  If something falls through with him, I could always give this a shot.  If you aren't in a hurry!
