Hey Im trying to find someone locally who can help me out with cutting some stuff out of aluminum. I really dont know where to start. I need someone who can scan an item, and maybee do a tad bit of computer editing and then cut it out.. doesnt have to be very powerful its just for thin aluminum. Anyone have any ideas? Or know someone around the Athens, GA area?

 

Try emachineshop.com. What are you wanting done?

 

Thanks looks like it might be a winner! I'm trying to get some billet emblems, and alum dash kit I made mass produced.

 

Warning: They aren't the cheapest place to have stuff produced. They are fairly quick.
Whats your dash look like?? Something like this?

 

Well the actual guage cluster on mine is just the stock 92 camaro style, as pictured. I bought the guage thing off ebay but I'm making a kit for the entire dash and console.. the console is done and I got the outer trim guage trim done today I just need to do the ac vents and the large dash piece and its done. Where can you reccomend thats cheaper? I'll probably do an initial run of atleast 10 sets and its 10 pieces per set so thats 100 pieces.

 

oops, pic

 

I would give emachineshop a try. Being that your doing a run of them it will be cheaper. Usually just doing one is costly but hopefully they will cut you a break on pricing.

 

Yea I was looking at there pricing.. and you could get like thirty for what it would cost to just get one done? I dunno if there price sheet was screwy or what. I'll have to get all the stuff scanned somewhere since its too large for a regular scanner and edit it and then get a quote... anyways thanks for all your help man!

 

Most of the work is to get one programmed and the tooling set up. After that, cutting each piece is a few minutes at the most. If they broke down the pricing, you'd probably see $100 for CAD/CAM programming and then $2 per piece...
