Hey guys,

I have about 35 sheets of stainless steel in 28G(0.015"). I need to have these cut to a smaller size (LxW) but am having trouble finding a place that can do it.

I've called several machining companies but they arent really interested in something this small. Their specialties are usually rapid prototypes and production. I am not looking to do this myself but I am pretty much stumped on this one... anyone know of any places that could handle this?

thanks in advance

 

look in the phone book for local waterjet or laser shops most of them should do it

 

just find a small place with a shear. they are not rare.

Yeah it's usually really cheap too.

 

i'm looking for a waterjet place right now, i think i may have found one (Austin Waterjet) but wtf do i look under if i'm looking for a place with a shear?

thanks and let me apologize ahead of time for my ignorance...

edit: i think i just found a place... !! thanks gentlemen.

 

Contact a trophy/engraving store. They will have a shear as they cut brass and aluminum all day. Probably do the job for pretty cheaply too. Otherwise any metal fabrication business will have a shear. You are talking about extremely thin material, so it really shouldn't be an issue with any shear.
