We are laser cutting some 8mm 5083 Aluminium next week at work. Is there everything you need that I might be able to sneak in? Normal beer tokens apply Edited by Jason G on 19th Aug, 2011. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

Basic shape with dimensions will do. I'll re-draw it and send back to confirm.

Sounds good! Fuel pump blanks might be worth doing?? I think there's a couple of other small things I could do with but won't be able to get measurements till Monday, when is the latest you need the drawings by??

8mm to 12.5mm, are you still pissed from the weekend? Doubt we cut that thick to be honest.

If the machine says it'll do 12.5mm and you have never done any yet, I'd like to see how you get on On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Don't know what our limit is for Aluminium and I can only get things cut from offcuts. 8mm Ally, 10mm steel/stainless steel is the thickest we've cut so far.

The bloke I use laughed at me when I asked, even though they advertise the fact. That said, they have replaced the mirrors recently and the performance has improved somewhat. Edited by Jason G on 20th Aug, 2011. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

That was the recomendation I had too. For ally and copper, use water jet.

Too right! We were advised not to cut copper. Even ally we make sure its cut with someone there. Been known to catch the bellow etc alight! On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

What would happen if the material to be cut was polished to a mirror finish ?
