does anyone here do laser or waterjet cutting?

I am after getting some bits cut I have originals but want more for some off road lads

parts in question are shims and bj spacers


Ball joint spacer and camber correction shims.
The spacer could be made in 5mm and 10mm thickness materials and the shims in a variety of thicknesses from 1mm to 5mm.


It could be a little bit of work for someone.

How many of each would you want? Laser cutting is more expensive if you only want a few bits doing. When I get work done I always try to build up an order so the cutters can use a whole sheet as near as possible. If you can make dxf drawings you can send them to a laser cutting company or if you can provide a sketch with dimensions, there are probably a few of us that could get it done for you, myself included.

i could send a sample what size is a whole sheet? i guess they could cut both from the same sheet

Normally 2.5 metres by 1.25 metres. You don't have to use an entire sheet, but if you can use half a sheet the price comes down a lot, it comes down to the time spent handling the steel and setting up the machine. Once its set up with a sheet in place it works very quickly, it's the programming and manhandling that takes time and adds cost. If the thickness is the same, you can cut as many different designs and repeat them as many times as they will fit on the sheet. I often get things cut in 5mm and may be doing a few bits in 10mm fairly soon too.

5mm is a good size for me i guess could do with shims in 1mm too though
