Heyo!

Barely Legal Fabrication is now proud to beable to offer custom water jet cut bracketry to the list of items that they produce.

We will offer a FULL line of standard bracketry... including standard 4-link tabs, axle tabs, shock tabs, gussets, the works!

We will also beable to offer Custom one off bracketry that we can design for you, or you can design yourself. All you would have to provide is a sketch of what you want, then we will submit a drawing to you of the final product for approval, its as simple as that. Club logos, shop logos, ANYTHING you can think of, we are now able to offer at a great price! Want all of your bracketry to have your logo of your shop? or any kind of design? we can do that no problem! You want it cut from 3" thick aluminum? no problem. 2" thick steel? no problem want it cut from plexi glass? no problem ... The possibilities are endless!!!!

All of the bracketry is cut on a omax water jet table, and is held withing the tightest of .003 tolerances. We had searched around for the best option that suited our needs, trying everything from CNC plasma cutting, to High Definition CNC plasma cutting, CNC lazer cutting..... and what we found that best did the job for us was the water jet machines. Water pressurised to 55,000psi cuts these brackets the best we have ever whitnessed, and we knew it was the best option for us.

Check out some of our comparison shots:

Water Jet on the left, and High Definition Plasma on the right.

Again, Water jet on the left, and High Deff plasma on the right:



The cuts that this machine produces deffinentally BLOWS AWAY anything a Plasma or High Def Plasma can produce, and we even think that it produces a better finish that most lazers we had seen produced.

Another great thing.....These brackets we are able to now offer, are MUCH cheeper than brackets from anyone else.

Standard Axle Tabs - 5.50Parrallell Link Tabs - 7.50Long Axle Tabs - 5.752x3 Universal Tabs - 5.50

The list goes on, we will beable to consistantly produce brackets at a lesser price, prices that we would normally offer to distributors only, but we will now offer that price as our standard pricing to the public. We will offically offer more standard brackets than anyone else also, meaning, you have TONS of choices when it comes to ordering brackets, not limited to 5 designs....we will build it all!

We are hoping to add to every standard bracket we sell, our shop logo cut into it, at the same price. To make them alittle more custom, for the same price.

Let me know what you guys think, Ill update with some more pics next week when we mess around with the machine alittle more, these are just what we prodiced today, with the time we had.

5.50 per tab is MUCH lower then the comp? 5.50 x 16 = 88 bucks.

i can get complete tab sets from either mindliss metal fab or kyle at guilty by design for 65-70 bucks.

congrats on the water jet purchase.

does anyone in the club allready have it as a .dwg file? i know ive seen cut RA logos before, so if they do, it will bring the cost down a good amount. If not, i will have to see how long it would take to draw up the logo and spit one out.

PM me if your deffinentally interested, and want to get looking into it.

In house.

Turn around is moderately quick. We still only have 3 guys operating this whole damn outfit, so when you order we tell you what place you are in line with everything else.

sometimes it can be same week, sometimes it can be two weeks. It depends.

I would say that our turnaround time on it will be pretty good, what helps alot is if the person allready has what they want in .dwg format, and i only have to alter it to our program to run it.

holler if you need something chris

that bracket for 5.50, goes for 6.99 at most other places.

and another thing to add to what you said thare.... all thos places you mentioned, cut their bracketry from 3/16 plate. All of ours standard are from 1/4 plate, no upgrade to that, it is standard. Our price is compareable to those who cut from 1/4 plate, not 3/16. There is nothing at all wrong with brackets from 3/16 plate steel, they work every day just fine. Its just that we feel more comfortable selling 1/4 plate brackets.

Thanks
