BLR CNC Wood Cutting / Precision Cutting for TT Plinth

[Record Player]

Bangalore FMs - I am specifically looking for a place that offers CNC Wood Cutting / Precision Cutting services.

I am currently building a 6 layered turntable plinth. I have the TT mounting template in place but require services where I can get this cut with precision. Are there any such places in Bangalore where I can just walk in with the material and have it cut based on the template given to them?

Not sure if a regular carpenter with his tools will be able to achieve this precision cutting! Plus carpenters are hard to get for such small jobs.

Any suggestions on this will be much appreciated.

Cheers...

There are couple of places in Bangalore west(Nagarbhavi), let me know if it works out for you? They have their own wait period depending on how busy they are, but definitely no walk-ins. For me it took around a week.

Thanks Hemanth. Nargarbhavi is a bit far for me. Do you know of an alternative around the Cantonment area?

Industrial hub is towards rajajinagar, peenya, magdi road, bommasandra, jigni, etc, you can find them here, no idea about contonment area. Usually no walk in is not possible.

Yes makes sense. I think Peenya works for me. Just need to talk to a couple of them before I go there.

There is someone not far from the Kormanagala passport office, but he is unreasonably expensive. I dont have his address or phone number handy, but can give you directions to his place if you need to go and visit him.

Thanks George. I can first plan to visit and have a chat with this person. Directions will ne nice.

Table saw guys will also give you very good, clean cut. I have never felt the need to go a CNC machinist for plinth cutouts.

CNC routers would be desirable when the cut is more involved (like bevelling, countersinking, roundings, etc). Also, one needs to give the engineering drawing to CNC guys in their desired format (or pay for them to translate or create your drawing to their format).

BTW, are you creating your own plinth cutout plan? I have not come across a multi-layered plan for the 401 though there is an excellent one for the 301 in the Analog Dept. I have only seen top layer plan (which is available from the manual itself). What is your plan for the plinth?

Makes sense Joshua. Table saw guys should be able to do this just fine.

I decided not to make a constrained layered plinth. Its just going to be 6 layered with a single template cut through all the 6 layers.

If you go via Viveknagar towards Kormangala, go past the IBP petrol bunk and you will hit a 90 degree juction to the left, with a petrol bunk on your right. Right at the turn there is narrow road that takes you towards Audugodi, come down that road a bit, there are a couple of turns and this place is on your right, right on the road.

Small clarification here: single cut through layers reduces the mass. The idea behind decreasing the cut area from second layer onwards (as counted from the topmost layer) is to retain more mass. Even if you use a single cut on all the layers, you will still be left with a substantial mass compared to boxed plinth.

If you use a visco-elastic layer in between the layers of plywood, then it becomes a CLD.

Now that you've decided on 6 layers, you must decide on how large you want the plinth to be. And that will be decided largely by what arm or arms you wish to use. I say plan for a 12 incher. May be you can start off with a 9 incher but keep room for a 12. You should speak to Raghu. He's in the last stage of building a very interesting 12 inch Schroeder unipivot clone. I saw some pictures and they're drool-worthy. I am dying to listen to them.

Raghu is also building Plinth for Lenco.We have almost finalised the plinth design,only confusion over plinth material.
