George,
I would be interested in the drawing, and apparently so would Buly.
 
Mine were made off of a pattern that Kevin made, and they are beefier than necessary, but probably won't warp too bad either.

Bill.
I wasn't sure that you were talking about exhaust flanges - I have a drawing on those that would have saved you some time. It took me ages to get the exit hole accurate and mine aren't as big as yours, are you sure you made them big enough- just ribbing ya!.
I had mine water jet cut (cheapest quote) $15-00 each, however the water jet does taper a little on thicker material and I made the hole just a tad smaller and trimmed it in the lathe.
I will send you the drawings if you need them!

Here are two.

Brit Adams cuts very nice ones out of 321 SS (laser cut).

William,
 
Well, it is nice to know I have Kevin fooled!
 
We can cut you two flanges with the proposed change, no problem. You are looking at $25 ea for them. Shipping would be additional. When they are done, we can call you, get a credit card number and take care of it all then.
 
I will wait for a verification email to proceed with this understanding:
 
Cut two of the same flanges that Kevin designed (I already verified that he is okay with that), except put a 1.75" diameter bore in them. I will put the center of the bore in line with the bolt holes left-to-right, and at that 2.4/2.6 coordinate up-to-down (.100" off of centered between the bolt holes).
 
If that is okay, we will get going, and should be able to have them on UPS (or other) in a week or less.
 
Let me know, and thanks for the inquiry.

Brit Adams
You were recommended to me by Kevin Lane, (see note below)
 
I am interested in having some flanges very similiar to what Kevin had made, from 304 Stainless steel.
 
The only change that I would want is to have the center hole be circular (i.e. round) for 1.75" tube to be welded into place. The picture sony 001.jpg is a photo of the flanges you made below, Scan10023_c.jpg is a scan Kevin's drawing showing the desired change to a round hole instead of the peculiarly shaped one.
 
Are you willing to make more flanges? I am in need of two of them.  What would be your price and turnaround time?
 
Thank you

Subject: [FlyRotary] laser parts

my flanges came back from Laser Cutting Services.  They have been great people to deal with.  I left the slug in the one flange to show how thin a cut the laser makes.  Apparently water jet cutting produces even a finer cut, but for small production runs laser is cheaper.  These are 3/8" 304 stainless.
