Hi Guys:

Like I said, I haven't forgotten this post. I received the Laser parts late this week, fixed the laser and cut some test parts that turned out really nice. Now I'm in the middle of a very busy weekend at this facility. By the end of the week, I will cut test files, checked fitment, and posted the final, workable, DXF/DWG that can be used by any laser, plasma, waterjet cutting firm to produce a valve cover spacer or gasket.

Sorry it's taking so long, but this isn't my day job, just something I'm lucky enough to have access too.

Karl

Hi Guys,

Finally got the parts for the laser and repaired it. Modified drawing with wider corners and corrected length. Last night I burned another template and it fits great.

Unfortunately, the forum software will not allow me to attach .DXF or .DWG drawings. It doesn't allow those extensions. I tried uploading after renaming without the extension included, but the forum recognized the the file types anyway.

So if you want the files I will need to email them to you. PM you're email address, and I'll forward a copy of the files.

I went to sendcutsend.com and quickly got a laser quote. I've found Send Cut Send to have the lowest prices for smaller quantities than other online laser cutters, and the service and quality has been excellent.

Prices include shipping.

Least expensive:

1/4" Aluminum 2024 T3

1 Spacer = $70.49
2 spacers = $49.34ea or $98.68 total to your door.

Note: ***They do not offer 3/8" in 2024 T3 alloy.

Least expensive 3/8":

3/8" Aluminum 5052 H32

1 spacer = $148.70
2 spacers = $102.80ea or $205.60 total

6061 alloy is quite a bit more expensive.

Gearhead
AKA Karl
