  • DWG or .DXF files or a good drawing for laser cutting Fender style flatwork

    Would anybody happen to have any .DWG or .DXF files for laser cutting Fender style flatwork?
    I'm in need of Strat and Tele files mostly.
    A precision drawing for Strat/Tele would work in a pinch.

    Thanks

      I have a Strat flatwork bottom part I did up in Solidworks that I am working on for use with a CNC router to try cutting bobbins (I have since switched to another CAD program called Cubify Invent). However, I don't have the CNC router in my shop yet as it is in the every capable hands of USPS on its way to a handoff with Canada Post, so I haven't been able to test out the dimensions of the holes for the Alnicos to get them to a snuggness I like during assembly. The attached has the holes at .185" for .187" magnets. I think the only issue in doing up a drawing is what size to make the holes for the magnets. Maybe it can be of some help.

      I did up the CAD drawing based on the averages of a couple different supplier's flatwork I took a caliper to. All that to say that the only important dimensions are the magnet and mounting screw spacing and diameters.

        Thanks guys.
        For some reason the instant notify by email isn't working so I didn't realize I had any replies.
        I'm still in need of .DWG or .DXF files.
        Thanks

          You can get the "stl" file from below and find an "stl" to "dxf" converter utilitly on the internet and do the converstion. Again, these the magnet holes are .185" for .187" Alnicos which I have not tested for fit as I do not yet have the CNC router.

          By the fall I'll be able to let you know if the fit is good when the bobbin is cut on a CNC router.
          Take Care,

            Thanks very much Jim.
            The laser cutter is local. If I can use your file I'll let you know how the .187" magnets fit.
