Hi everyone. I am going to build a mechmate. I know rates will vary but, What is the average cost for the laser cutting of parts in the USA?
2. I have read most of the posts here on the site but just to confirm, Is there a check list of parts needed?
3. Do you delete old drawings? I ,like most, dont want to "cut" old drawings.
4. Am I correct in thinking that .10.-.30. posts are the latest versions and you are still working on the Z axis?
Great site, Great rig.

Welcome Charlie.
1. A local will have to tell about laser cutting on your side. I hope it is similar to our prices out here.
2. The checklist is the WBS spreadsheet, but which is sadly behind. However, that will become the master checklist.
3. Old drawings are removed.
4. Yes, .10. to .30. pretty much reflect the table that is already running. That table obviously does have a working Z axis but it uses a linear bearing that I happened to have lying around. If you have such a bearing, I will tell you how to use it, but very few are going to be that lucky. So, I've put together a prototype economical z-axis (very similar to the ShopBot principle) and getting those drawings out in a week or two. |

Well take it or leave it 130$ for the grinding on the v rail x4 for x and y and thats 520$ + 37.50 x2 for materials so my X and Y rails are going to cost me... about 600$ That sucks. They should be nice though :rolleyes: |
