Where can I get this made?

[Arnold Cunningham]

I need to get a pair of these made up.
Roughly 120mm x 137mm x 50mm thick (Can be cut from 50mm plate, that'd do).

I havd a dxf file of it.
Can anyone help, or put me in touch with a company that can?
Thank you

Too thick for laser cutting so you’re looking at CNC machining.

it appears to be a simple enough shape so either find a local machine shop or one of the many online places such as Fractory or PCBWay.

Or a conventional machinist, as only a two off..

Waterjet would cut that out easy.

What’s it for? Does it have to be steel?

Actually, I forgot to say. Aluminium

I’d get a hole saw and drill the middle out of the plate, drill the corners and then grind off the rest…it would work OR it should be easy for a fabrication machine shop to do (not that many left though that are reliable)

Yeah, I do have the kit to do it by hand, but I also know it will be a huge amount of aggro. Want to pay someone to do it, tbh.

Roughly where are you based? I know a guy in Chiddingfold that would do it for you.

It depends on the accuracy required, at 50mm thickness the tolerance will be around +/- 2.5mm

Perfect, chiddingfold is not too far

If you shoot me a pm I will remember tomorrow to get you the details, he makes robots for robot wars and this would be a doddle for him….really nice chap.

I think you have the tick box that allows other members to message you turned off.

Not much luck finding anyone to make it for me - only person who quoted wanted 1K for it. Nobody else was interested (I think we can say a 1K quote is also not interested). So made em myself today:

Very good.

Just seen this. Other people pm me on here.

Nice work anyway!

[Arnold Cunningham]

Yes, and with hindsight, I was a muppet and looked at the wrong screen! Apologies.
Anyway, FWIW, it was quite enjoyable to make. Not as good as a pro job, but if I did them again, I reckon I could improve.

Missed the thread first time.
Just in case you need anything similar the company I work for use.
