Hi Guys

Thankyou very much for the posts and information.

I really did think that the process would be fairly inexpensive hence the reason I was asking, i did indeed google and sent out requests to half a dozen companies asking for quotes which came back and were very high.the best quote was180 quid for a sheet of 40.

It is a US digital encoder and I currently use thier mylar discs but the AC motor is used in our electric race motorcycle where motor temps can get pretty high and the mylar starts to get a bit too flexible at 150 deg and 8000rpm!

Not wanting to waste anyone else's time and spurred on by my own ignorance of the costs I now realise it is going to be much easier and cheaper to mill them on my starmill.

Thanksfor the replies though guys.

Hi All

Does anyone work for a company that has this facility or have access to it? I need to get a couple of small encoder wheels made 2" diameter in .25 - .3 mm steel or copper. The cut outs are too small for me to do on the mill and the companies i've been asking are just not interested in doing a couple for me unless i pay silly money.
Cheers
Brendan
