Mattlikesbikes Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Looking for a local (in time for Christmas) water jet cut of an address number for a gift. Short notice, but should be a quick cut if anyone has somebody to recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBehrens Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I know these guys mainly do custom jeep part fabrication, but might not hurt to reach out and ask. Burnt Customs: Custom Offroad Parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Many years ago when I was needing odd stuff done for TF, many times I'd just show up at the place of business (i.e cold call) and just ask and talk to them about it. I had some Stan's rims de-annodized this way. And early on, its how I found and vetting powder coaters for our frames. I've also had a few (non-bike) things welded with this method too. Just show up with the part in-hand and be pleasant. GLWS. Not sure this really helps much. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Does it have to be water jet cut or can it be milled? I don’t know if they’ll do a one-off and if they do whether they’ll be in your price range or not, but Athena Manufacturing can make just about anything but not with a water jet. all the people I know at the hobbyist level have plasma cutters for thicker stock or laser cutters which only handle thin stock.

CBaron Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Maybe a hobbyist with a plasma cutter and a good set of files? -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
