I need someone who can precision cut sheet metal for me… About 2-3mm thick steel plate in a specific shape to be precise.
The shape required is this in precisely that size:
I have people who can cut out this shape for me in Acrylic sheets but I need it to be metal (steel) so that I can get it chrome plated… I plan to use it as a wall hanging for my bedroom. :blushing:
Anyone here know any metal fabricator who can do this work for me?? Would prefer someone from Mumbai but don’t mind a person from outside Mumbai if he is a great craftsman.
If you want cutting edge precision any machining center with a CNC Wire cutting machine would do , this will probably cost like 300-400 rupees but will get the job done perfect. Also you’d have to provide the exact drawings with dimensions (CAD). BTW - How big is your bat symbol ? That will probably decide the costs , since more size = more time machining the component.

Lathe ? what are you going to put in at the spindle ?
I just meant any workshop that has a lathe would also have metal shears, grinders and all stuff for cutting milling etc. I used to think that those kind of workshops are called also called lathes but obviously I’m wrong
Well , The Hacksaw might not get you the precision you are looking for , but yes a good steady hand of the grinding wheel might get you the finish , did you locate any of the CNC Centres nearby ? Industrial Estates , get there ask for where you can find EDMs give them your plans ask for a quote , yes a GO might just bring down the prices since the sheets can be stacked on top of each other on the EDM , makes for like 25-30% more on the machining costs , but yes this is better done if you go scout for places yourself , emails wont works since many of these places wont have internet connectivity (even if they do they check their emails rarely) You most probably will find an anodizing workshop nearby , where they probably do chrome plating , get your CAD go scouting ! ATB. And yes dont got into places which have laser cutting (unless you have like 10-20 orders in your belt) - or you ARE going to get ripped off , IPC wont help then.
I am gonna superglue this small knob like plastic thing that is found on wall clocks… I dunno what it is called. But I am sure hanging won’t be an issue…
@ l33t: Kewl bro… Have you done something like this before?? I’ll begin the hunt soon enough…
