<div>I haven't compared against Ponoko, but they do well against Big Blue Saw. I recently ordered 5 pieces each of three variations of a piece that was cut out of 10"X10"X1/4" aluminum, and the final price was cheaper than I would normally have paid for the blank material. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If it's a really small part, I was told to expect a minimum fee of something on the order of $25 to cover programming, material purchase, and setup time. Big Blue Saw seems to have a lower limit of about $80 for a small job, so $25 plus the option to pick up locally suits me just fine.</div>

<div>Cheers,</div>

<div>How do their rates compare with the same design priced at Ponoko? The gottcha with Ponoko is there's something like a minimum $14 shipping charge which makes the smaller jobs less appealing.

<div>I've also used Virtucom in Kanata for water and laser cutting. I've been pleased by the quality of their work, but turnaround times can be a bit variable. Check out <a href="http://virtucom-inc.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">virtucom-inc.com</a>. </div>

<div>Yup, I've sent a few designs thru them. For the laser-cut items only takes about two or three days from submission to ship. Then you're at the mercy of USPS/Canada Post; that can take anywhere from a couple of days to a week.
