would it be posible to get a kit to make ormerod like Eriks(if he wants to put his designs out here) and make it for Ormerod 2 aswell?
Difficult to say without knowing exactly what is involved.
At a guess i would say it would not be cost-effective - it's great when you do these things for your own machine but putting a kit together would have to include labour and other costs etc which then makes it too expensive.

I can honestly say that (most likely) no builders will have a laser cutter capable of cutting metal in their shed
It's a horrifically expensive machine, both to purchase and run.
I use a CNC plasma cutter, it's cheaper to buy but not as useful as the cut detail level is lower, it is however far cheaper to run
Water jet is similar in cost to laser but has the highest cut quality.

Hi all,
Been a bit manic here this week, I am hoping to have all x-arm and bed kits ready to ship Monday morning, apologies for the delay.

Still plenty
This will be the last batch I think, I have reduced the price slightly to clear.

I have been advised that the Mk2 runner runs on the underside of the arm instead of the back face??
In that case i will clean all future kits on that face using a surface plate to get a decent surface there.
I currently have plenty of stock
