Darren, I just sent you a PM.

Joe,

How often do you make these sets? I dont need one now but in about 3 months I will.

Laser Cut Parts
 

Larry, sad to say that I will have sold my last set in a few days.
The person that I was dealing with to cut the parts was laid off due to the economy. I don't think the new guy is going to give me the same rate to cut and bend a set of parts. But I guess I could see.
If I'm not mistaken. Castone is still selling laser cut parts.

Joe

Anything left?
 

Hi Joe,

Do you have any sets left? Zip code 92651

[email protected]

And if you do, how do I pay?

Castone is in this thread: Laser cut and formed parts - Tennessee

Alabama isn't dead yet.

Metalhead and I are working together to see if we can keep the parts flowing here in the US. We will be meeting with the local Laser/Fabricator guys hear this week to see if we can keep the set available at a affordable price.

We will let you know what we find out.:D

Joe

Good to hear that there is still life in Alabama! You served this community very well in the past.

Joe kit available
 

I -just- got a kit from Joe that it turns out I am not going to use (I found an already-built machine for a great price).

The box is unopened.

I'm in Portland, OR

I'd like to get what it cost me, of course. :)

Anyone interested?

Greg

I talked with Joe and the Laser Parts company yesterday. I should have what I need in the next day or so to get a kit pulled together for sale. Just PM me if you are interested in a set of parts and when I get them pulled together I will let everyone know.

Update on Laser Parts.

I had a test set ran to make sure the new folks met spec. I will touch the parts tomorrow to make sure they are good then I will order some sets.

Greg do you still have a kit from Joe? that you want to sell.

I do indeed!

Completed some parts for one of the members .

1x M1 30 224 Idler stub shaft.
6x M1 20 220 Bearing support base.

PM me if you need a set. I have more.

I am still tracking on the Laser Parts and they should start being ready soon !!

I am confused (and new) here. When someone supplies laser cut kits, what exactly is in the kit?

Thanks!

Mike (also in Alabama)

S.Mike,

usually they are the parts found in ProfilesBends30Jun08.zip (see downloads )

However some people help others out with additional parts when they cannot do the work because the don't have the machines to make them, the above could be such a case when somebody doesn't have a lathe to make the Bearing support base.

Ries

Here are some cool shots from a set of parts I made today (PM if you need a set) I am already checking a few long distant orders for folks.

I like the action shot of the Lathe boring the bushings.

I did figure out the the next set will have the idler on the outside end and I will give a little more stock between the bushings. This lets me cut off the Idler then drill the holes and finish size the bushings on the blank.

I can then go over and cut them off with the metal band saw. My parting skills in need of some work :D. !!!

Here are the parts test fitted. The idler is snug and will be pressed into the point it is flush with the outside of the idler shaft. I have to resist pressing the bearing on.... I won't say how I know they are hard to get back off :o !!!

Laser cut parts
 

S.Mike,

Ries was correct, I did not have a lathe and MetalHead(Mike) assisted me with this at a very good price and well machined parts. I purchased my Laser Cut Parts from Joe "Sweet Home Alabama" and was very pleased with the quality and price. I could not have built this without the technical help and assistance that this forum has. A lot of the builders on this site have the equipment needed to do most of the work, but it is geat when the same ones step up and help others.:)

Great pics Mike! and also inspiring... I want a lathe!!! :rolleyes:

Can someone point me to projects where the bed size was scaled down? I do not need (or have room) for 4x8. I am (hopefully) assuming that the gantry can remained unscaled (if width is mainained).

Mike

the new guy
 

Sir I am located at 36362 FORT RUCKER AL any sets left? Thank you for your time ERIC

Sent you a PM - More sets will be ready in a few days.

Hey Mike.
You forget me!!!! :)

No I haven't - Just trying to get time to figure out the customs forms. I will try to get through them this week.

interested in laser cut parts
 

I am new to the forum and was interested in what the cost is for a set of the laser cut parts and what would shipping be to a 24153 zip code. :)Just want to say i have looked over the site for some time now and i am amazed at all the info that is available here. By the way has anyone done a video of the assy. of the mechmate and is it available.
Paul:)

I'll PM you

laser cut parts
 

Mike thanks for the reply I'm sure these have been asked before but i still have questions about laser cut parts. Do the laser cut parts come with marks for drilling all the holes or are they done by the laser also the slots same question. the plans do not have measurements for the hole locations that i can find (maybe I've missed something)anyway!! Thanks for your help and to all the others on the site for all the great info. I'm hoping one day i can build me one.
WOW What A Machine.

Pauld,

If you have not downloaded and printed out the drawings that Gerald has provided you need to do that. You can also look at the drawings. I don't mean to be rude. Part of building the MechMate is to do some of the leg work.

We are happy to answer all your questions, but put the work in also.

Yes the lasered parts come with markings to help you drill the holes.

I think we need to build a MechMate Robot and send her with each of the builds to assist every one. Fetch the 12 mm bolts and bring me a drink.:D

That would be a great treat ! LOL

The spider has etched locators to help align the V-Rollers, but the rest of the parts mostly have precut holes. The drawings and common sense (which aint so common by the way :) ) do the rest.

The whole Y-car assembly literally snaps together. It is actually difficult to take apart it fits together so well. A very nice design and very ridged after it is welded. This site even covers what steps to weld the Y car.

So reading here is a must. I say this site is the assembly manual for the MechMate. By how it is layed out you can pick the area you want to study off the main forum page and read all the feedback on that section.

I'd say 99.9 percent of the time if you have a question about building the MechMate it is in this forum somewhere. If you can't find it after truly looking for it (We will know :) ) then just ask. Someone can point you in the right direction.

Even after over a year I still read here daily and study the drawings a lot. But the best thing to do is dive in.

Update on Parts - The parts are heading over to the bender this week. So I am on track to have them back early next week. I will let everyone know when they are ready.

How much for your parts kit. looking to start soon
