If you do not want stators, you can use counter rotating blisks.

Also, CNC machining of a small blisk will not work, at acceptable rotating mass and flow characteristics, because every usable material would deform at the blades.

There is a way though, its called Electric Discharge Machining (EDM).

http://www.bladonjets.com/technology/gas-turbines/ probably builds the nicest small gas turbines. They use EDM to to machine their blisks. http://www.bladonjets.com/technology/blisk/
