Hey guys I'm building a LED lighting platform and need to find a place here in the city or the boroughs to get my heatsink cut. I had a place that was going to cut it since it was long and wide for the application, but the owner seems to have fallen off the face of the planet and I'm considering just writing it off as a loss. I was wondering if anyone knows a place with a CNC machine or something that could cut the heatsink for me.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

I cut one of mine with a sawzall and then belt sanded the edge to make it smooth

If only I had a sawzall and a belt sander! :tongue1:

thanks nyc reefer I'll go look them up.

I want to get this done before the swap but it looks like I'll have to wait since I'll be out of town this weekend.

Sigh so the guy said he would get to my heatsink this weekend, well the weekend passed and still no word... what do you guys think? Should I just cut it as a loss? I don't think he's ever going to get around to cutting my heatsink.

Oh Woodman nice meeting you at the swap. Here are the dimensions:

7.29 inch wide

1 inch fin height

.300 inch base

If I recall correctly without having to break out my diagrams I need it cut down to 6 1/2" wide, oh and it's 17" long.

Thanks man, you know this guy said he was going to cut it this weekend but I still haven't heard from him. I'm getting really frustrated with him, I'm going to get it back hopefully this week or next.
