access to a laser cutter
anybody have access to a laser cutter?
I was looking to buy a trailer from a guy that cuts parts until he gave me a price of $4500.00 just for the cutting this guy already has the cad file so all he would have to do is inlarge the program I guess. claims it will take 3 4x10 sheets of steel to cut all the parts. do you think hes yanking me? back when I worked in a sheet metal shop I ran a punch press and would make 1000's of the same parts all day long just by feeding new sheets of metal into the machine |

Re: access to a laser cutter
the guy makes the same trailer in 1/64 scale so I asked if he could do it in 1/14. he said yup. 2 months later I get a price of 4500. now I priced the
3 sheets @ $110 each in NY. if the cad file he has can be enlarged add that time then actual laser time ??? still cant see it costing anywhere near how fast can a laser cut .060 metal? |

With three sheets of steel it sounds like he's making it 1/4 scale and not 1/14. In 1/14 it would only take around one 4x5 sheet and then some would be left over.
