Laser Cutting AND Scale Drawings

Post by Tom » Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:16 pm

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend anyone/anywhere which offers a cheap Laser Cutting Service? I am about to embark on a big project which I'm hoping to do in lots of small bits instead of all at once.

Also whilst I've got everyone's attention, can anyone advise how much you need to scale up 7mm drawings when using a photocopier/scanner?

Thanks in advance :lol:

Tom
Cheers Tom

Hi Tom,

Dunno about the first bit, but 7x229% is 16.03, so I think that's the answer to the second bit. I've done it lots of times and that sounds about right...

Cheers,

Andrew

as to the second question, a friend has used this company I think to produce bits for an aeroplane project
