CNC Plasma Cutter. Whatever you want.

I'll send you a dimensioned drawing once I figure out what I need to do for my next vehicle (100 series LC).

What program does it run on? I have some ideas that I have on Solid Works and I have many CAD programs at my disposal. Would you be OK with signing a Non-Disclosure/Non-Compete agreement?

This is very cool. Now i have 2 sources. A Friend works for a shop that has a CNC laser, the owners are good friends of mine so they will do odd jobs for me if they have time, and now SOAZ. I will be sending work to you soon, Hopefully this summer i can start up my bumper and skid plate projects. :jumping:

Actually, the plate is already welded to the bike....I would need to pull off the side stand support, have the hole knocked in it, then re-assemble the bike.

How big of a reach do you have with the press you are using? You would only need to clear about 4" in from the edge (to the center of the hole), and would need to get over the top of a 1" tube (framework that the 11ga is welded to).

Sounds like we could use the dimple dies that you just screw on and then tighten down. No press needed then. Can you take a pic of it?

I am in desperate need of a replacement for my front crossmember on my 01 Tacoma. The part where the factory skid plate bolts up just in front of the radiator. Mine was damaged in a minor accident and then removed entirely when I had a aftermarket front bumper installed.

If this sounds like something you can do I can send some pics and measurements your way ASAP. I am currently sans skidplate since I have no where to bolt up the front 3 bolts on my Budbuilt skid. Makes me a little nervous to say the least.

As a side note: some rear lower shock mounts that were 1 piece and provided some protection to the lower shock mount would be awsome as well. I'd personally prefer them to mount even with the bottom of the axle tube.

Thanks

I can cut the plates you need with the cnc plasma. I'd just need the measurements.

Sure. The only problem is that it runs off of a program called plasmacam. I don't know if its possible to import images. I can scan flat pieces in with a scanner, but thats about as tech as I've gotten so far.

Cool. That sounds like the kind of stuff I want to do. :jumping:

Does it take cds?

 

[SOAZ]

Does it take cds?

Let me see. I think that it will still require re-drawing it into the CNC's program. So far it had the ability to recognize a scanned image and then I spend some time cleaning it up and coverting it.

 

[SOAZ]

I don't know if it helps anyone, but I'm able to open .DXF files in the cutting program.
I can also now take bitmap files that are all BLACK and WHITE.

Myself and I'm sure many, MANY others would be most interested in rear gas can holders for the FJC. There is one out there that mounts to the tire but only fits the metal jerry cans, not the Scepter. I'm looking for a dual set up that either mounts to the tire or on the sides of the tire. All Pro has been teasing us with this for months, but there is no word on production yet and it requires you to purchase their rear bumper in order to mount it:

It's very cool but a little over the top for me. Man-A-Fre is also coming out with something, but again I think you have to get their rear bumper, and since their aux fuel tank has been in development for 7 months I'm also not expecting to see this anytime soon:

Again, very cool, but I'd like something more simple like you see on the jeeps/rovers/cruisers. Here is one that someone recently fabbed up, not exactly what I'm looking for but you get the idea:

Or something similar to this that would hold 2 cans:

People over on the FJ forums are screaming for something like this to be made, if you guys are serious about making a biz this would be a great start!
