FAQ
Questions about files, machine capabilities and where to get great Chinese food.
What type of files can you cut?
DXF and DWG
What type of files can you work with?
We can work from any vector file (illustrator, CORELdraw etc.) it's usually best to save out as a PDF. We can also work from Solidworks files - SLDDRW(drawing files), SLDPRT (part files), SLDASM (assembly files).
Should I layout a nest or send individual part files?
If you layout your nest (all the parts to be cut together on one file) then please put a bounding box around them and indicate the box dimension. Remember most sheets are 4 x 8 or 4 x 10. If you send individual part files we can nest these for you which would incur a CAD time cost. We'll also need a part drawing indicating size so we can double check scale.
What info is needed to get a quote?
If you have a DXF or DWG - great, we can get you a cut time and cost. If not, we will need CAD ready for the machine in order to generate an accurate quote. We can give you a cost to create your CAD first before moving to a machine quote.
How much do you charge?
Shop work (clean up, material handling, welding etc.) is $90 per hour
CAD design work is $95 per hour
CNC router time is $110 per hour
Waterjet time is $140 per hour
Petting the dog is $150 per hour - but worth it.
How big is the cutting area on the machines?
The routers are 48" x 100"
The waterjet is 72" x 120"
My material or yours?
We regularly stock these materials:
Aluminum - 0.063; 0.090; 0.125; 0.190' 0.250
Steel - 0.125, 0.25
Plywood (Super Ply) 1/2" and 3/4"
Sintra (black and white) 3mm/ 1/8"; 6mm/ 1/4"; 12mm/ 1/2"
Material is billed by the square foot.
If you wish to have us cut your material, you can drop ship it to us and collect your parts and remaining material once your job is complete.
We can supply your material if needed; please inquire.
How long until I get my parts?
If it's from our stock material, we can usually get it into the schedule within the week.
If it's your material (or we are ordering it in specially for you) then allow longer.
If you have a deadline (and let's be honest, everyone does!) we'd like to make that happen for you!
What about clean up?
Cut time quotes are for cut time only. This means parts come off the machines without any edge clean up. If you wish to have your parts de-burred, please let us know and we can quote accordingly.
What is the dog's name?
Einstein Wolfgang-Bartholomew Clothier, the third.... Earl of Kent.
I need my parts welded together or powder coated, can you do that?
Yes. Let us know what you need and we can get a price from our fabrication department.
I need more than just cutting, can you build me a whole thing?
Of course. For full projects please go to our parent site www.illusionprojects.com
Where is the best Chinese restaurant in town?
We love Dim Sum at Orchids Garden on Sahara and Lindell - Try the Chicken Feet.
How far can a dog run into the woods?
To the middle of the woods (the halfway point), because after that, he's running OUT of the woods.
