    AULRO laser / plasma cutting

    I have a .dxf of a small part (210mmx95mm) that I want cut

    -Tolerances need only be just better than vague
    -Material to be 5mm mild steel
    -6 or so pieces only required at this stage

    I have sent the .dxf to a few commercials for a quote but would be happier to support an AULRO business if they wanted the job.

    Due to my location I have to pay freight on absolutely everything so where the business is based is pretty well irrelevant

    Regards,

    Steve

    I have used Action Lasercutting in WA for all my jobs as AgroJnr used to work there, and I have continued to use them since he left. Not the cheapest, but they don't change for drawing the items up, which saves time.

    They don't accept CC, which is a PITA. I bellieve they accept bank transfer.

    Thanks all for the tip offs.

    My three quote requests from three large laser/plasma burners have all been unreplied for 4 days
    (way to go aussie businesses)

    I ended up contacting Mick from Home Page whose posts I had seen on weldingweb.org. He is based in Murwillumbah.

    Lets just say - I sent the email request during the witching hour last night. He had replied by 8am.
    One clarification back and forth and a quote/invoice was in my inbox by 10 am.

    If I had not have been away from home I reckon the parts would have been in the post today.
    Now that is the way to do business!

    Oh and compared to the last lot of cutting I got done by a big place in Cairns - his prices are pretty sharp.

    Ill post a picky of the burnt parts when I get them.

    as promised - parts arrived today
    So to sum up parts were cut and mailed <24 hours from first email
    and then got to me in out here in Timbuktoo in 2 working days.

    Awesome service and top quality work to boot!

    Sitec,
    I used LibreCAD an opensource CAD program to generate a .dxf file (CAD file) which I emailed to Mick.
    I can only assume he would be happy to generate a cut file from a scaled hand drawn diagram.
    He was very quick to respond. Just flick him an email.

    Perhaps the only issue for a part as large as what I imagine you are chasing in that picture (the entire bumper around the lights etc) would be freight. He is located on north coast of NSW?
