Drawing attached, this is a JPG but I have it as AI and should be able to convert to most common formats. Tolerances are not critical, the aim is that it looks good more so than being exact i.e....

Apologies if I don't explain well, first time here :)

I'm looking to get some key chains cut, I assume out of steel or aluminum, something reasonable hard wearing that will not bend or tarnish....

I am researching a project that woul require detailed glass cutting to patterns I would provide. Shapes would need to be but by water jet or similar I think to give me the accuracy and quality I...

Thanks Jeff, I'll check them out. Still open to other suggestions if anyone has any, thanks.

Not a major project but I have some bits and pieces and would like to find someone close to home interested and able to do occasional small projects for cash. Doesn't need a lot of power or large...

No replies or PM's at all! *lol* I'll PM you with more details, what format would you need the logo in? I have it in Adobe Illustrator so it;s a vector image, I can export as PDF, EPS, DWG, JPG etc....

I'd like two pieces of stainless steel, aluminum or similar (something reasonable hard wearing and thin), each should be 735mm long and approx. 60mm wide, the edges should be rolled to match the...

I have the dimensions for the drawing but it is a sketch. My question really is this:

Here is the door sill on my car, it is this shape, how would you go about measuring the physical profile of...

Thanks NC but I think I may not have been clear, it isn't so much the drawing as the measuring that concerns me. I've attached a sketch of the profile of my door sill, I have the car but i don't...

For now I'd like to get a rough idea if my project is feasible so if anyone can give me a very rough guesstimate I'd be most grateful.

That I'm looking at is a piece of thin stainless steel about...

Hi folks, I'm wondering if someone would be good enough to give me some guidance on how to draw up my requirements. I'm looking to have a sill guard made for my car, it isn't too complex but I need...

The mention of 36" was intended to be a guess at the linear length of cutting required, I thought that some of these tools charged by the inch (of cut) so I was trying to have a stab at how much...

Sorry for the confusion. The piece is being produced with a color printing process, at first I thought a 12x12 square would be the most efficient test piece but it turned out that I could increase...

Todd,

You're right, with my first estimate I hadn't confirmed the most efficient print size so the number of faces did change and increase.

I think it's going to be a problem in that my art...

Here are some template files of what I'll be wanting to cut out, it's all 2D so waterjet would work fine, I just need something that will take one of these source files (it should be 17" x 18") and...

Waterjet would be fine, it's fumes that are my concern so anything that will cut my pattern accurately would be fine with me. I haven't finalized the layout yet but for sake of argument it will be...

I may have aneed soon to have some cutting done, I'm concerned that the material may give off fumes if it is cut with a laser which is my usual method so I suppose some form of CNC cutter would be...

The bounding rectangle is 101.6002mm x 63.5mm if that helps :)

Thanks. I don't have AutoCAD hence why I am forced to do it in Illustrator. Are you saying the units of choice are defaulting to millimeters or does it come in 4mm x 2.5mm?

As long as it is in...

Please let me know if this one is better and if if opens to scale (the bounding rectangle is 4" x 2.5"

Chris.

Thanks, I'll create a line art version.

>>How many of these are you looking for?

Only a couple.

Thanks to a lot of advice here I now have a template and would like to find out if someone can cut this for me at a reasonable cost. I want to use it as a template so the material probably needs to...

Thanks, I'll try the chemical process and if it doesn't work post there.

Thanks Geof. I'll see how the decal material works out first as it will come pre-cut to the shape I need rather than having to start cutting it out of another material. If it isn't up to the job I...

I've ordered some stuff called "Nickel Pickle" which supposedly will dissolve the silvering once the paint is stripped. I'll report back how things go. I'm also having some templates cut from 2mm...

I hear ya... but also some glassworkers seem to be suggesting that a fine grit sand at a low pressure will lift the coating and not marr the glass. I tended to think of sandblasting as being a very...

Cebby - my concern would be pitting of the glass, I need it clear. I don't know much about sand blasting though and how finely it can be done, do you know?

NC Cams - I'm certainly open to any or...

Great info Geof, thanks, off to search for a Stained Glass shop near by..!!

My local craft store has widow etching stuff but nothing to remove the mirroring. Although as I think about it masking...

The shapes I want to etch are less than 1/4" in places, very hard to scrape. Also scraping doesn't seem to bring the mirroring off too well, it either leaves traces or scratches the glass. The...

I am removing the backing on a mirror in a specific design using a dremmel and an erasing shield at the moment. Piecing together my design using the shield is a pain so I thought if I had one custom...
