Title: TZ Plastic Protectors
Post by: felixthadog 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 (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 (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?

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! @.@
