oi oi pinks, what's the maximum thickness your laser cutting machine can do on mild steel plate??

what format do you need the files in?? standard autocad DXF??

cheers mush

1) 8mm mild steel.

2) DXF is by far the best.

what ya thinking mate?

need a flange made up so i can fabricate a downpipe

email me the dxf and i'll see what i can do

but i'm off on camp at the mow, should be back in a week or so.

ok ed cheers, i'm not ready for it yet becuase i haven't decided which exhuast manifold i'm going to use yet.

thats cool. just give us a shout when ya know what ya want

it wont let me attach a autocad dxf file so i'll email them to you ed

cool. use the hotmail one listed on me facebook.

email sent

email got

i have sent all that off to my cnc bloke at work. i you could email me with a postal address, i should have them on there way to you by friday

cheers ed!!

pinks, i think i might need something else made for me if you can?? it will be a pair of mounting plates for the rear arb.. if you can do it let me know, i'll up a pic as soon as i get round to drawing one up, or if you make up two pairs of them it means you get one too

sure. do the usual, post a piccie up then send me the DXF.

cheers ed, i've also got another little project lingering in the back of my mind involving the rear disc brakes from a vw lupo or 6n2 polo too. i think it's possible to use the stub axles/calipers on the felicia trailing arm if a special adaptor plate is made to match up the bolt pattern

edit: pics removed

what i'm thinking about is 2 pieces which slot together, then it pushes on to the end of the bar to be welded on, i wont email the dxf files to you yet ed because i want to re-think the whole thing again to make sure i haven't made any mistakes in the measurements, also they will need to be bent to the right angle, but i can do that on my press

ok cool, well let us know.

folding is not a problem eather as we have about 7 brake presses at work to.

ok, at the moment i'm not certain what the exact angle will be, or how much needs to be trimmed off the ends of the vauxhall tigra arb, i will finalize this as soon as i can but i've got a few things that i need to do up front first

can you make me two of these ed

email sent;)

i'm on it

jesus h christ on a bike, that was quick

lol i can only get the the post office on a friday so i crashed them out asap.

what thickness can you do on aluminium ed??

ooo now thats a hard one, because alu conducts heat so bloody well our laser that cuts 8mm mild steel, can only manage 1.6mm alu.

however, we do have 2 very big cnc punches that are just as accurate as the laser, and often quicker they will punch up to about 6mm alu.

what ya thinking?
