Milling work required

Guys,

I have used David AKA Flak Monkey to do some work in the past and it was first class.

I dont *think* he has milling faclilities and i am looking at the possibilities of getting 'V8' milled to the depth of about 2mm in a bit of 4mm thick ally plate.

I would need the edges of the lettering chamfered so thay are not sharp enough to cut fingers etc.

Plate will be approx 150mmx150mm and the V8 approx 100mmx80mm

In addition to this i may want an oval milled into the same plate above the V8 approx 70mm x 35mm.

If David can not offer this service is there anyone on here who can?

Try searching for 3GE on the forums. They do lazer cutting ec. Worth a call.

Although hope your not in a rush cos i've been waiting ages for my stuff.

No, sorry cant help with milling at the moment

You will need to find someone with a CNC mill to do what you need.

Might be worth a look in your local yellow pages for a local engineering/fabrication place. They will likely be able to help out.

Cheers,
David

If you realy get stuck, I may be able to give it a go.

Have a DIY CNC mill/drill at home.

I wouldn't publisize that too loudly otherwise you might get swamped with favours.

Talking of which.......
