Sounds like a plan . . . Does anyone want to go into the Montgomery parts-supply business? ----- Original Message ----- From: <htmills@bright.net> To: ">Mboats<" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 9:09 PM Subject: M_Boats: Centerboard In case anyone is planning on that route, I work with CAD daily and we have the software to convert the drawing to code for a burning machine. (gas or plasma plate cutting) We have the burning machine too, but as Howard noted, getting it burned out locally would save a lot of freight. I can donate my time supplying the code if you (whomever) wanted to go that route and supply me with a tracing of the original board. Grinding the edges would be a quite a bit of work, too. (no, we don't have a CNC milling machine... :-)) Some smaller shops may still be using an electric eye burning machine and I could probably provide the full size tracing for that. (in fact before sending out any code I'd want to mail a full-size plot of what I generate in CAD for the owner to overlay on their old board to check for errors. Tod
