DucatiGuzziIndian Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Ideally I’d like to order these and our other stuff by the end of next week but I can add a couple days. Ill need a final quantity by say Sunday 11th……. Hopefully that’s enough time for everyone. OK???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedfrog Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Well, I don’t really need one, I had put my name down back in May mainly to kickstart @Pressureangle campaign for another run and support his efforts to provide this great service for the community. I’ll do it again this time around if that puts the count over 10 and reduces the final cost for everyone, surely a latecomer will chime in after the production run is over, wanting one... If not it’ll make a nice trivet - - - PS: With all due respect, I hope it is not too much of a blind faith to trust DGI, a newcomer to these shores, to produce plates within the original specs that will fit and function as they should - says the worrywort - ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the specs but the material are in the digital file, and actually hard to make mistakes with. Quality and finish are really the domain of the cutter. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit and quality isn't a big concern. I'm also not that worried about them running off with everyone's $100 bill, even if they are new around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that, adding @DucatiGuzziIndian's own plate, and considering @swooshdave's friend, I get ten at this point. No word from @Dragonknee, but he can get his from @Speedfrog's generous offer . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’d be ok with mis-aligned holes and a warped plate then? 1 hour ago, swooshdave said: I'm also not that worried about them running off with everyone's $100 bill, even if they are new around here. You brought that up... My concerns maybe unfounded but they are my concerns and until I get a product in my hand to evaluate it’s quality, they will remain as such. I have been burned too many times buying parts sight unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you know what material was used for the original plates made by P. Roper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DucatiGuzziIndian Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I understand the concerns. Im a 66 yr old mechanical engineer. I came to the US to start my own business in ‘98. Didn’t know a soul here but spotted an opportunity. Happy to post more info to give anyone more confidence. I sent a link to my business website to Pete. Happy to send to others. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressureangle Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 We discussed material offline. My plates were .080" 304 Stainless. Let me add one more thing here; I can tell you that taking on this burden for the benefit of the community and without any meaningful profit is a favor not to be made light of. I stuck my neck out for many thousands of dollars up front and I may have kept enough profit to pay for my gas to the post office. If there's one among us who will willingly take a passed torch, I'm one to thank them and sit back down. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
