Heath, I don't know how long it will take. I gave him the go ahead today , Wednesday. He said he would call me when they were finished. I hope within a week. The auto industry is a little slow right now in Windsor so I am hoping that the laser is available. Actually, I was in his shop three weeks ago and they had three large cnc laser cutters. Only one was doing any work when I was there.

Suggest you mark the bending lines onto the plates, on the inside of the bend only. Also write the angle of bend onto the plate. Reduces time & mistakes.

Hello,

My first post here, so I should introduce myself . My name's Michel (note the French spelling, though I'm of Dutch origin...), I'm located just outside the Toronto area in Canada. I should caution Gerald that I can mostly follow the Afrikaans, it's phonetically close to Dutch .

I was wondering if there's been any progress on the group buy for laser-cut parts in Canada? I'm not in a great hurry to build, but I'm starting to spec out parts and such.

Michel

Michel,
Actually, I just ordered a few sets of parts. Most of the guys in Canada have found their own suppliers closer to them. Drop me an email and I can get back to you when they are in ( and I see how they turned out) and if you are interested I can get you a set.

Heath,
Are you able to get these parts fabricated? I am up in Pembroke and am interested in building a MechMate 5' x 10' for cabinet work.

Hi. I just joined in and will need a set of laser cut parts for a 4'x8' Mamba. I'm in Georgia. Anyone gotten that $420 plus shipping number beat? And are those numbers still good on May 25th?
Thanks
Rob

If you are in the states you should be looking at this post

http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showthread.php?t=604

I have gotten my first lot of laser cut parts but they are all spoken for at this time. They are going to the bender this week. The next set will be higher as steel is going up all the time lately. I will have to get a new quote from the cutter when I am ready to order the next batch.

Got all my parts back from the bender and they look great. The parts I have now are already spoken for, but I was wondering if there are still any people that are interested in a set. If there is sufficient interest, I will get current pricing on the steel and let you know.

Hi Heath
I would very much be interested in a set depending on the shipping cost to the United Arab Emirates, could you please be so kind to weigh a set and let me know how much it weigh, I have a friend in Ottawa at this moment so maybe I could arrange the parcel via him.
Much appreciated

Hi guys,
My laser cutter is requoting the parts as we speak, as steel has gone up quite a bit as well as shipping etc due to fuel costs. I should have a requote this week and will post results. I will try to take a few pictures of the set I got this week as well for all to see what it looks like.

Hi All,
I just got my quote from the laser cutter. If there is anyone still wanting in on a possible next set, pm me and I will give out the price. Seems like steel is going up all the time. My cutter says he cant hold the price for even 30 days anymore. So let me know asap so we can get an order in if it works for you.

Hi all,
I now have 4 confirmed (read paid) people for the next batch of parts. If anyone is wishing to get in on this order please contact me asap. I will be placing the order early next week. We would need at least 3 committed people to do another order.

thanks

Update,
Order has gone in to the laser cutter and parts are in queue for cutting. I have an extra set at the moment on order if anyone is interested, just send me a pm and let me know. I added the extra set as the price seems to keep creeping up. Wont be long for parts now.

Hello Heath,
I might be interested in that last set if it is still available. Am brand new to CNC and have pretty much concluded that MM is the best way to go for me, i.e., best value for the money. However, am continuing to look at all options.
I am located in Ontario just east of Toronto not more than 2 1/2 hours from you.
Thanks,
