Default USA automated panel-cutting service?

General purpose use? A small desktop hobby mill-drill weighs about 500 lbs. A small repair shop mill weighs about 2000 lbs. The lightest weight production mill starts at around 5000 lbs. That is a Mattel toy, good for paper, cardboard, soft wood, perhaps very thin aluminum if you are not in a hurry. It might chew through some thin fiberglass given time and loose tolerances, but I'd not confuse it with a general purpose use mill.

The dimensions aren't given, but you might be able to mill the panel in two passes. In any event, it's a hell of a price for general purpose use.
