Laser cutting shredder parts in Sydney

Hello Australian Shredder builders!

I’ve found a laser cutter in Sydney NSW, Australia that will lower his price on the shredder parts according to how many sets are ordered at once. Please let me know if you’re interested in ordering your set with me by posting on this topic and mentioning if you’d like the parts in mild or stainless steel.

Stainless is pricier but will have a longer life and require less maintenance. I will give us until 27/09/17 to come together for a group order before i order mine.

As an individual, his quote in stainless steel is AUD$860 + GST for laser cutting only. He mentioned he’d get back to me with a quote for additional canvassing, which i’m not clear yet if required and an alternative quote for mild steel.

I’ll post all updates on this topic.

Hi Diego,
I have just joined the forum and want to know how many guys are in this forum as an Australian group in relation to the machinery.
Do you also know what version the shredder laser cutting files are up to at this point in time?
What is the name of the laser cutting company that you have used in Sydney?
Regards,
Gavin Stewart.

Hi guys!
Your costs should be more like $450-500 each for 316SS, as I can get this done in Perth for that price.
Use v2.1 files and swap out the files to use  1” hex bar, as 27mm is really hard to find!!
Ive just got mine up and running.

Hi everyone,

Did anyone manage to build a PP machine using this? I’d love to get the details of the laser cutter you used if so.

If not and you are still interested in helping out on a sydney based project please feel free to message me! I’m working very hard on getting one up and running.

Thank you
Emily

Hi,

 

I Just joined here as well. I’d love to hear how the mild steel quote goes…$860 is a bit steep for me being a full time uni student and only working part time.

 

I’ve been thinking about building a cost effective shredder for a while now. I was tossing up with the idea of paying to have the rotating and fixed blades cut out of stainless or mild steel and then I would build the rest of the housing and framework out of wood.

 

If you do go through with the order, would you be open to adding on a set of blades to the order but leave the rest out?

 

Cheers,

 

Damien
