Sampaj Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) Hi Hubbers (JHB) Looking for someone who has a lathe specifically for plastic to trim down a set of spockets on my bakkie. I know it’s not bike related, but it’s a trusted site and I’m sure someone knows someone who could trim them down. Thank you Edited February 1 by Sampaj
Frosty Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I sent you a PM for one of our club members, who is a metalworker, but I’m sure he can assist or point in the right direction.

dave303e Posted February 2 Posted February 2 If you know how to do it yourself, made in workshop in Randburg is an easy win. You pay for a day in the workshop and just do it yourself on their lathe. It is worth knowing about, everything from panel saws to cnc routers, mills, lathes, welders etc... Sampaj, ChrisF, Frosty and 1 other 3 1

Sadly I have no knowledge of how to work a lathe.

Do they have anything like that in Cape Town?

Blacktail studio also has a world wide database of such places as well. We use it to create templates and prototype stuff for my wife's new venture, much easier using a cnc router and then for manufacturing we use the template and a router table with a bearing/follower bit.
