laser cutting near banbury/daventry

Pretty much as the title says, any one know of a laser cutting place near the oxon/northants border that can work from a paper template? I need to get some rear wheel arch protectors cut in stainless, and all the off the shelf ones I've found either don't match the shape I want, or are too little.

Just taken delivery of a new waterjet cutting machine, if you want to sent me a copy of your template and what material you want Ill see what i can sort out. Usually need a dxf drawing but will try and draw it as close as possible.

Let me know

Cheers

Andy

I could probably do a drawing on the computer if it would help? I only have the Office stuff and paint though.....
It needn't be in anything much more than 1mm sheet, as it will need to bend slightly to match the wheel arch.

Gents,

Lunatic question - Can you cut laminate glass using either waterjet or laser?

Assuming that you could but that it's going to bugger up the glass plastic interface?...

Small project in mind

waterjet will cut virtually any material up to 150mm thk only thing i know it wont cut is toughened glass.

Ive got some 10mm laminated here so i'll try it when the machine is fully commissioned.
