Default Affiliate Article: MNPCTech has a How Too with a Window

Plexi and Modders Mesh Window How-to by MNPCTech @ GruntvillE.com


Quote:
Bill from MNPCTech has legendary modding skills which is why heÂ’s one of the more successful Pro-Modders in the business. HeÂ’s taken the time to create and donate a GruntvillE.com themed case for the DawG PounD Giveaway. Bill has also written up a couple of How-toÂ’s in the process. This one shows how he did the gorgeous window and got the shadow effect and the mesh look. ItÂ’s some great info for anyone even slightly interested in modding.

I will also add that this fine case is also a contest prize for Gruntville.

Full details are here.

I agree one of the best windows I've seen. I just wish water jet cutting wasn't so expensive.

Bill has all his stuff cut with a water jet. ThatÂ’s a water stream of up to 10,000 psi with a minor abrasive. It can make cuts to .001 tolerances

It also can cut aluminum up to 9 inches (yes I said 9 inches) thick but not with the .001 tolerance. The company I do side work for has been looking at buying one but the hefty price of $200,000 - $250,000 has a big effect in a purchase decision.

Those are some nice machines. The really high dollar ones can get up to 36,000 to 55,000 psi and make a cut only .006 wide. I love this form of cutting. We ship our solid surface products to one company in Minnesota.
