Machining advice 2

[LuckyJim]

Hello, I am new to this forum. Does anyone know of a good online resource for machine tool advice. I am designing a component to be machined from aluminium but it will require some delicate features at considerable depth (approx 10 x diameter of cutter). The part would probably need several interconnecting slots milled, less than 10mm wide but up to 100mm deep, leaving some thin walled features and sections. Does this sound feasible? I would like to find out what's reasonably achievable before I progress too far....Any ideas?
