I'm looking for a source that can do laser or water jet cutting of some 

subpanels for my instrument panel. Since I'm using a 'non-standard' 

panel it's not one of those supported on epanelbuilder. I have the 

capability to produce and send AutoCad compatible files. anybody know of 

a source?

Witte Industries in South Dakota is a new RV10 Builder... Ask for Michael.  I understand they do 1 off parts.



You may have luck with Precision H2O in Spokane, WA also, but they are more geared toward production.

I know of a small one person shop.  I know she laser's primarily 

acrylics but is accustomed to very small quantity requirements and likes 

the small niche markets.



I'll ask on her experience and willingness for aluminum (I'm sure her 

laser has the wattage needed) and AutoCad in the next day or two unless 

someone comes up with something better.  I've forgotten where you are,  

I'm in Fergus Falls MN.



I'm not even close to this stage so I'd need to know approximate size 

and gauge of the parts.

Deems, Pacific Southwest Avionics at Stellar does it, although when I

wanted a couple holes enlarged to 3 ATI size they weren't interested,

too small a job. He is mostly into redoing entire panels on certified

planes. http://www.psavionics.com/

Double R Manufacturing in Ocala, FL does it.  They have done work for us.

They price is good, but they have to be convinced a little bit to do such a

small job.  You can get them at www.doublermfg.com.

Deems, I have a water jet and a CNC router. Call me (at) 757 236 5110 and I'll 

discuss the pros and cons of the approaches to cutting the panel with each 

of these machines. I have cut test panels out of scrap High pressure 

laminate in order to tweak the panel layout prior to cutting the final 

panel. I created a frame designed with four subpanels so that I could remove 

one section without removing the others. Good Luck David O Boone 40138

Deems - I have a guy I work with here that has a fab shop with a water jet

machine.  He can convert AutoCAD to his system and cut away...



Send me a file offline with the thickness and I'll pass it on for a quote.

Waiting on my EMP kit.....Shipped today though!!!

Noel, 

Can Solid Works do labeling on TEXTURED painted panels?  Love to talk to you about it.  You have a number I can call you at?

Solid works just created the "art work" for the labiling.  using trexure I

think (the people on the list may know better) you will want silk

screeaning witch will need the same Art work as I  created for labeling.

Thanks to all who provided leads and contact info re this topic I've got 

a few more days work to finish off the CAD files, but I think I've got 

enough leads to get something worked out.

THANKS Again

Deems, what went wrong with your mount, or do you have a close tolerance a
