TZ Plastic Protectors
« on: March 19, 2009, 09:42:15 AM »
I would like to buy some plastic protectors for my TZ machine, I found these -> http://pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_2&products_id=182 and these -> http://pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_2&products_id=153 for sale at Pinbits but was wondering if I can buy them locally? Or is there anybody out there that could cut them for me?

I usually cut my own from 1.5mm shatterproof polycarbonate (lexan)
Lay the plastic on, draw around edge, roughly cut down, finish with file and dremel, then use 800 grit wet/dry to finish off smooth.

Any chance you could cut a set of plastic protectors for me?  @@^ Of course I would pay for all materials and labour costs, but at least I know I would be getting what I want.

What do attachments do you use on the dremel. I use a scroll?

I think Matthew it would be cheaper and easier to just buy them from pinbits. I bought a set and they work fine. Also now that I think of it, Greg at RTBB.com sells them. Try him

The protectors from Pinbits are made out of acrylic, but I thought Lexan was stronger? The set of protectors from RTBB does not include the Rocket Kicker plastic or Clock plastic, and I don't know what the "Dead End" and "Right Target" plastics are (there are no pictures on the website)  !@#

Yeah, they are the ones I saw but the set from RTBB is not the same as the set from Pinbits. I think I will go with Pinbits because I can get a full set of plastic protectors (including the ones that sit above the middle ramps) for $USD40 plus shipping. I just thought it might have been possible to get the protectors locally and save on the ridiculous shipping charges!  @.@

Well if Pinbits has what you need exactly, then go for it! I can't recommend them highly enough. Martin & Pam are sensational to deal with.
