    Re: Machining services

    Guys,

    The one I had made before has a rabbet on the back and a rabbet under the front flange mounting position. The Sinar one I've got is 140mm square.

    I'll try to attach a diagram ...

    Cheers,

    Or routed. I have use of a CNC drill/router at work which is intended for drilling and profiling printed circuit boards. It's perfect for this sort of thing (and home made cameras, control panels, etc, etc!).

    Hello Henry!

    I posted the wrong drawing. There is a slight dimensional change.

    I've sent a PM also.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Steve,

    Give Allan a call at F16 camera repairs in brisbane. I know he has (or had) the gear to do some machining work and he may be able to help you.

    PM me if you need his contact details

    Yep, good idea to stay local as you can.

    Anyone, feel free to PM or email me if you have something that needs a little machining help. I'm in the U.S. but likely will be happy to do work for anyone who finds it worthwhile to send it to me.
