I am trying to find someone that has a auto-shaper of some kind to cut
out some wood fishing lures for my business. I can find folks with CNC
machines to cut out flat sided shapes for me but then I have to router
the edges and I don't want to do this. I understand that there are
auto-shapers out there that will not cut and round all the edges. The
lures are about 7-10 inches long and I want them to come to my door
ready for the next stage.....no sanding necessary.
Can someone tell me where I might be able to find this service or at
least tell me what kind of keywords I should be searching for
online?
Thank you!!

I agree , a cnc router should be able to cut out and round over the
edges of all your parts .
There might be some jig required but that should not be a major
problem .
Any places that laser cut wood shapes wont be able to do your job.
If you need a clean sanded finish you can always tumble them with an
abrasive .
What sort of quantities did you need and out of what material ?

What kind of shapes are you talking about?
If they're round in cross section, anyone with a lathe and a
duplicator should be able to crank them out very quickly- there are
plenty of guys who do this to make fishing lures.
If they're really oddly shaped, you could try giving a shout at Morris
Dovey on this list, I know he has a pretty impressive CNC router
setup, and from what I've seen of him here, I'd have no worries about
sending him work.
Find someone with a CNC that knows what he's doing. What you are asking is
easily doable.
