Instrument cutting facility in Big Smoke

Postby RV4ker (RIP) » Wed Mar 14, 2007 5:41 pm

I am in the throes of redesigning my instrument panel as I have now resigned myself to the fact that NTCA will not fly IF in the near future. I am chucking out all the IF instruments for stuff I can use(Tablet PC, Bluetooth inerface to cell, Ipod, Enigma, Second Radio, Moving Map GPS etc) I am looking for a company/individual who does lazer or waterjet cutting of Ali in Big Smoke. I should have the final DXF file ready in next couple weeks. The guy I have used in the past has like many flown south (Somerset West) and his cell is no longer valid...

Any idea's? I need someone who can work with me as this is not exact science and I am sure there will be more than 1 edition. Morph I still have your guy, but would prefer someon in Jhb.

thanks in advance...

Happy to, but can something like that be speed serviced without getting buggered?

PS
I am still batteling to get the curve correctly plotted. Seems RV4 comes from time before CAD. There are none available on Net, so I have to try to plot it myself and I had idiot as CAD teacher. (Am Self taught) :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Hiya; Contact Amada in Edenvale and they will give you the nearest user of their kit, possibly the best CNC Punch press/ Laser cutting kit available, they all come with Solid Works so your problems will be simply rectified.

Overnight couriers will cost about R60 to R100. We use swift all the time and they are reliable and safe.

PM me your number and I'll get Ranger to call you about the plotting of the curve. Alternatively make a paper template of the curve, scan it in and email it to him with the dxf file

you can call him direct on 0828935378

here is the temp cutout of mine we did last night

Drool. I am making templates as we speak. My Caddie knowledge is limited and frustration is setting in. I will contact ranger when I have the templates.

Thanks....

At the moment I am going with a single MGL Ultra Horizon XL. I am going to put a cubby hole in the RHS hole but it is ready and cut for a dual Enigma solution later
