Question Laser Cutting?

Long shot, but ....Has anyone on here got access to a laser cutter or know of a company who could knock me up a couple of alloy (f/fog light) brackets? ...ive templated them out & so just need them cutting in 1.5-2mm thick alloy

Cheers in advance,

D.

Most decent machine shops should be able to knock one up for you. Maybe not alloy (depends on what mix) but stainless should be no problem ...

Check out yellow pages (wont cost more than a few quid providing there is not a huge amount of labour !!) (I live in a tiny town in east anglia and know of at least two companies here who would knock this up for you .. so it should be easy to find a local company and save yourself a few quid.... unless there is a specific reason for the "laser" requirement!!)
