I'm already on the list Grav posted but am confirming again. I like the idea of the chef smiley in the left corner closest to the oven door.

I might even buy two :ssj:

Okay, Grav, put me on the list. Something etched would be cool, as well, especially something along the lines of "Noli turbare panem."

All I want is a kind word, a warm bed, and UNLIMITED POWER.
I'd be interested, depending on shipping. I've always wanted a pizza stone but if this is better I'd be down. I hate pizza in this town, it's lovely and I'd like to make more of my own, which I like. I'd also like the GWS emote in the corner, I think that'd be kind of cute.

Also I read the article that Gravity posted, and it says you turn your oven to broil for an hour. I have a broiler-shelf that's under the oven (yay gas), can I just crank the oven to 450F instead, or do I need to try and squat-juggle a pizza onto the steel?

I am interested, but would want to know about shipping. I would be less interested in a thin 1/4" than a thicker one. We tend to do 4-6 pizzas at a time when it's pizza time.

Bring on the Whores!!
for the 0.365 " x 16.00 " x 14.00" one with no etching it comes to ~$37.11 for 1 of them. it weighs 23.58lbs.
for the 0.240 " x 16.00 " x 14.00" one with no etching it comes to ~$25.06 for 1 of them. it weighs 15.68lbs.

Etching shouldn't be that much extra (its charged by laser time and etching moves at 500"/min)

There's an inherent Price:Volume algorithm in the pricing, which is why I think GrAviTy84 is trying to get a group of these together.
So if I do the parts above and a qty of 10 you get:

for the 0.365 " x 16.00 " x 14.00" one with no etching it comes to ~$33.07/each for 10 of them.
for the 0.240 " x 16.00 " x 14.00" one with no etching it comes to ~$22.38/each for 10 of them.

you can also mix and match, if you want, the algorithm works on the whole cart.

Our business is mostly used for industrials, but I thought our automated ability to produce 1 of anything would be beneficial to some creative goons.

Forget it man this bat is whack, it's got poobrain!
The re-shipping if one goon were to get all of these would be a significant chunk of the price, unless said one goon got it via freight and then shipped out via USPS (funny enough it fits on a large flat rate envelope IIRC :v:) or something similarly cheap. But then that would be committing on a purchase just to sell it to goons that promised to maybe buy one.

I think the best bet might be to turn this thread into a how-to order and include links to some CAD files you guys have verified work, some with logo for etch, some not, and then goons can decide what thickness they want and if they want the logo or not.


e: bah, just checked, they don't make the larger mylar envelopes anymore for flat rate USPS.

I'm interested either way! I'd prefer the 3/8", unless the 1/4" has good enough heat retention for batches of naan and pita.

It'd be great with or without etching. Maybe a tasteful little GWS smiley would be nice?

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that instead of doing a group buy where one person buys a bunch, receives all units and ships them out, it would be easier and more cost effective for everyone to buy it directly from the manufacturer and have it shipped directly to their homes. It seems like the discount for buying as a group is not substantial (the tooling for this setup seems to make it more ideal for individual, unique customers and less geared towards mass quantities), and having to ship the item to one goon who would then ship them out to each other goon would be redundant in shipping.

We would just need a proven CAD file to upload to this website:
http://www.robinsonlaser.com/?clid=1083

This would also give everyone the opportunity to have their own designs/sizes

Yes, no?

Hey there guys,

Just because it may be relevant - I work for a steel company. I won't say who, since I don't want to seem like I'm spamming - but I ran a quick price quote through our computer and came up with the following:

For 10 Laser cut circles, 1/4" 304L (Stainless Steel) at 15" OD - $347.50 shipped ($34.75 apiece). Shipped singly it would run around $80.92. For the same part in 3/8", it would be $535.80 for 10 ($53.58/pc) or $95.72 shipped singly.

Thought having some comparison prices might help out, especially if anybody was interested in going with stainless instead of carbon steel. How much utility there is to be gained from alloying up in this kind of application is up for debate, though with a little buffing you could get a much sexier finish, if that sort of thing matters to you.

I used the provided weights to do a cost estimate on shipping to me in Denver at a commecial address, using UPS's default rates (actual shipping should be some amount cheaper but probably not Significantly cheaper, due to account discounts)

For the 3/8" steel, shipping would be around $24
For the 1/4" steel, shipping would be around $18

..if that helps anyone else. UPS's price calculator for US is here.

Given the cost of reshipping would probably negate and inflate the bulk discount from doing a group buy, I'm with Steve Yun and deimos that it's probably just best to order individually.

SifuToast: if I make a simple drawing file out of illustrator, would that work? Or would it produce a steel with razor sharp edges since there'd be no bevel?

HOLY BALLS.

So I used the shipping calculator on ups.com to work out the cost to ship this thing to me. $406. Might need to bow out on this one unless I'm doing something completely wrong.
