Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer

[Originalrob]

I found a relatively local engineering shop that supplies all sorts of metal and cutting services. I have found that although laser cutting is fairly accurate, it still leaves me with a lot of work to bring the items to an acceptable finish. Laser cutting also leave poor edges and seems like it also hardens it?
Its still a lot better that cutting 10 mm plate steel with a hacksaw so I wont complain !

The round stock and flats I get from another supplier. I just send the diameters I need and lengths. I can use my lathe and mill to do the rest.

One day if I get space to do so, I would like some sort of cnc but for now its all manual
