Will the skapeoko handle making skate trucks?

Given a suitable 3D file, endmills (you’ll need some specialty shapes if you want to do the chamfers/radiuses on the machine), feeds and speeds (possibly cooling) and an arrangement for flipping and fixturing the parts (esp. at an angle, also would you want to drill and tap the holes in the ends on the machine?) those should be doable. Redesigning the parts to only allow the features which are easily machined in two, or at most 3 setups and doing some post-processing w/ a drill press and a tapping fixture would make it a lot easier to produce)

There have been a couple of projects in aluminum posted here, most notably:
