Modular Synth Panels

I think sliders would be cool, but expensive.
For example, I did a layout of 16 75mm slots (and appropriate mounting
holes) in FPD.  FPD wants US$40.75 to cut the slots in *my* material.
I'm assuming they CNC mill these, rather than a turret punch, but I
could be wrong.  I guess the question to ask is can Scott's metal
suppliers punch these slots to a decent level of accuracy? 
Remember, a little slop in slot spacing is not going to be that
obvious, but if the mounting screws are off fromt he slots, the
sliders won't mount.  Ow.

I wish my CNC mill was running.
