Kudzu Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Anyone had any experience with a company that can cut boat frames kits from plywood? I have always hand cut mine but my allergies are getting worse and I need to look at hiring someone to cut the kits for me. Really interested in someone that does water jet because of the square corners but having a hard time finding anyone that regularly works with wood.

Action Tiger Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Jeff, My buddy, and the guy I get B.B. ply from, does CNC cutting, but not water. I would be happy to connect you two, if you’d like. Peace, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
even-keeled Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Laser works well and the edge charring is superficial. .005" kerf. Clear protective coating over the black edge looks good as well. That's my opinion. The parts smell burnt until painted. My guy isn't currently taking new clients though. These parts were made that way.

Kudzu Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I never followed up on this but I got quotes from both and to my surprise it cost more than I charge to hand my kits. Not just a little bit either! So I will just keep cutting them by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoepony Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hi Jeff, I had my frames cut by CNC router. He used a 4mm bit so the internal corners are all 2mm radius - perfect. I can't fault it and no burnt edges. It cost me Aus $70 (this includes setup) but would be cheaper if done in bulk. So I would look around for someone who does that in your area.

Kudzu Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 As I said, I did and they wanted more than I sell them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
