    One off or production quantities? I think you could buy them cheaper than you could make them but yeah, depending on design & tolerances, a Taig and a small lathe could handle it.

    Are they typically made of steel or aluminum?
    If steel, then I don't think a Taig could do production quantities. At least not very fast.
