Manufacturing for Smarties

Today is going to be short and sweet. Straight to the questions, with no dilly-dallying!

First question, please!

Where can I find a Bystronic laser slat cleaner?
Depending on how much time and money you want to put into your slat cleaner, you have a few different options. First one (and the cheapest option) is to purchase one from http://www.lasergrating.com/ for $89.95 this tool is built for one person to manually remove the slag. See the video on youtube to see how it's done.

Another option is to purchase Bystronic's automatic copper grid cleaner. This is also a one-person product and can be found on their website (http://www.bystronicservice.com/files/Gratecleaner/GrateCleaner.zip)

Can you waterjet FR4?
Yes. FR-4 stands for 'flame retardant 4' and is used on certain circuit boards. This composite material is actually best for waterjet, and not laser.

Is Fedtech a large contract waterjet cutter?
Yes.

Where is that link to the movie theater decor that you guys made?
You can see that case study here on Fedtech's website. We made the ticket windows from brass and fabricated the angel as well. They turned out great!

Where can I waterjet cut G10?
G-10 is related to FR-4, in that FR-4 is the flame retardant version of G-10. And to answer your question, Fedtech can definitely waterjet cut G-10.

Well that's all the questions that I can answer for today. Thanks for stopping by!!
