If you have to ask why, you wont understand the answer

theres no reason for it other than the fact I can, will probably use it as a paper weight for my intray at work
this is just a test one, I want to add buttons on the side, speakers on the bottom, engrave the back etc...

same size, same thickness, screen icons are perfect size and so are the engraved logos

I own 2 cnc mills and a manual mill

I love my manual mill and use it all the time ;)

i don't own any cutters for steel, on the proper one i plan to black the icon button engraving so they stand out.

i also plan on a lot of wet and dry to get a decent finish

That looks incredible. One issue though is that iPhones 5's only have 5 rows of icons.

Nope, they would be a b**ch to hold in the vice and they would need to be finished/coated

You need to put a 2d dxf file into cambam so cad works great
