[Design and Technology] Plywood Cams

[Pitt, David]

You could draw up/find a CAD file for the cam profile/s you want and find a laser-cutting company to do the custom job, if you were interested enough to do it!  You could nest it into a large sheet of ply, and get a whole bunch from the sheet.  Most laser-cutter places will cut straight from a DWG file from most CAD applications, including a few free ones.

Can't comment on possible costs, but just an idea.

:)  Good Luck

Hi, apologies for mailing whilst on holidays.
I am trying to locate some plywood cams?
Using a hole saw with the guiding drill taken out is not ideal for OHS and quality of work.
So, would anyone happen to know of a company that could laser cut some or a company that makes them (obviously at a reasonable price).

Thank you
