I just recieved my laser cut parts from Patrick Pickerell of Peridot Corp.

These things are nice...I guess I could add a laser cutter to my list of tools to buy when I win the Lotto, hahahhaa

Did a trial test fit into the reducer pipe and it's a perfect fit. Now to do some welding this weekend.

That doesnt look like SS

very nice mike.....

so got a diagram of your exhaust system yet? where are the intake tubes going? etc

I decided to save $10 bucks by going with mild steel 1st...just in case the design sucks.....

Shiny?

Awesome. I love the digital to carbon conversion. I'm going to be an engineer in the next life.

Can you tell us how much it cost ?

Daymn. Those parts look awesome. What did you give Patrick? DXF file or something?

Laser cutters kick ass.

DO you have any pics or diagrams of how you anticipate the stuff fitting together?

I wouldn't bother waiting for the next life. Get hooked up with a CAD package and a web browser - do some reading and math, and rock out!

I think you're already there. My dad is an electrical engineer and he still plugs 150 watt light bulbs into 60 watt fixtures. It's more about what you can do than the title.

Mike, once you finish the foundry...

I think he was making fun of me...I said shiney and the parts look flat in apperance

nada....I'll just return the favor in future...how, no idea

yep, DXF file, this way less work for his laser operator, just load 'em into the CAM software to generate the tool path, I did give him hardcopies for referance.

yes they do, a water-jet cutter would be awesome as well, my individual throttle body parts would be better cut with a water-jet...I'll have to be mill them unless I cast them instead (I should have my adjustable propane regulator today or early next week)

Once I weld up the adapter/reducer pipe, I'll have a better grasp of how I want to or have to run it.....

Mike,
I guess I missed something.
What exactly are you making now??
It looks to be exhaust related.
Inquiring minds want to know.

hey Marty, these are for my YCTA914 project

Thanks for the link.
By the way, Good Luck with that!!
