metal mold

hey where do i go to geta metal mold im just wondering

well first of all,have you ever made a mold and are you willing to spend a very pretty penny?

something like that and ill spend a pretty penny shit my fb setup is worth $95

if you made just some shitty bondo circle mold,dont start with this
and this stuff is really expencive,but in the long run youll want it cuz its nearly indistructable
and these things are like 500 together,like the software and the money you have to give to use a places machine to cut the metal,and really,its hard to learn
so if i were you i wouldnt go for the metal mold just yet

yea i agree, even yellowood didn't start out with a metal mold when it just started, it took them around half a year after their decks became well known.

true. but they dont cost like 500... look i spent my time designing mine over autoCAD, and when i made it, it only cost 65. find a pro in engineering to design it. give him exact dimensions, where to extrude and stuff. then it will by around like 90 or 100 if u round it up.

luagh maybe were you live its that much,but my dad is a computer engeneer and a engeneer so he knows that it costs alot,and i meant at most it was 500
but it really depends on where you live

damn lol epic fail i live in new york city

epic fail are you kiddding? i live in queens and you live in brooklyn,there are different places that you can get this stuff made and they cost different amounts cuz you can find a cheap place or a cheap ass so you just epic failed

ooo kool did you ever get one madee

Look guys hes referring to a handboard company, it would run 1000 dollars for a handboard metal mold, because its bigger, the CNC guy may want more because of the size and how hard it may be to produce one of those. Look as I said earlier a metal mold isn't needed at all you follow people to much.

my metal mold cost me 650
but mine is gonna have a built in press

Nice noogs

oic... handboards no wonder. i kinda hate CNC compared to CAD

CAD software is so damn hard to use id rather mail them all the info and dimensions and draw it by hand

no choice , some precision metal companies probably wouldnt really care unless u have their paper readable by their machine. for ur info, CAD is not that hard to use if you have learnt it, and have common sense about frontal lateral and planes kinda thing. it is extremely easy to design a mold, just extrude a block of wood, and then cut the slants to exact dimensions, separate top to bottom and in new sketch, extrude away some concave exactly in the center. form it to fit on top sketch and yea there u go. it took me only around 30 minutes

but anthony is right that a metal mold isnt exactly necessary to make decks unless u wanna go hardcore and have too much money. but since most people wont bother to learn autoCAD, forget about the idea of a mold when it isnt necessary at all.. i really have nothing to say about CNC though.

lol anthony if u have the money, i bet u will make one of the best decks in the world ^.^
