Can anyone refer me to someone that does laser cutting? I'm working on a kit and finding it rather difficult to cut some parts by hand. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Balsa machining services maybe.
LOC could probably help

I got some fins laser cut from Rocketry Works recently and they were good quality and would recommend.

I just got off the phone with Jay at Loc Precision, they're doing another laser cut for me.
I was very pleased with the previous order- four 12.5 inch diameter 1/4 thick ply rings with multiple motor locations that had to be very precise in order for the four fin roots to pass through to the central core motor mount tube and not hit the outboard motor mounts. Any movement in either direction and a fin would intersect a motor tube.
I simply did a sketch that described the arrangement.....they were done with "precision" ! : )

Just curious Afterburner....you're working on a "kit", ..............that requires you to cut the parts ?
If you need fins, I've had RC airplane laser cutters do Saturn 1B birch ply fins for me...I can dig up a name.

I'd be interested in sources. Rocketry Works startled me with their prices the other day (mostly on shipping). 4 relatively small fins cut from 1/4 plywood was going to be about $40. Thanks!

Grandcross used these folks for his Saturn 1B fins:

And Loc Precision...the cost was reduced when I sent them a DFX file.

I was able to finally track down my laser cutter guy. So all is good...
