Do you know how? Title: Re: DS1k 'windowed' belt covers Post by: Speeddog on January 02, 2012, 04:39:13 PM Looks like very patient work with a dremel. Perhaps a jewelers saw and then a dremel to finish. Title: Re: DS1k 'windowed' belt covers Post by: stopintime on January 02, 2012, 04:52:49 PM Dremel cuts won't be that straight ???
If you have an opportunity - ask him - I want to learn [thumbsup] Title: Re: DS1k 'windowed' belt covers Post by: sofadriver on January 02, 2012, 05:13:54 PM piece-o-cake...................as long as you've got one of these...........
Water Jet Cutting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crgujRcyhhE&feature=related#) pretty common in manufacturing these days. even Jay Leno's got one. i'd run down and buy one but I don't have the room ;D Title: Re: DS1k 'windowed' belt covers Post by: Speeddog on January 02, 2012, 05:42:33 PM Definitely done by hand, as the cuts aren't *exactly* straight.
I'll ask the owner. Title: Re: DS1k 'windowed' belt covers Post by: lawbreaker on January 02, 2012, 07:08:02 PM Is the owner gonna leave them skeletonized.. or put plexi or lexan behind it ?

Please do ask because I've been wanting to try this. I run open belts now. I've got 2 sets of covers so I can afford to Title: Re: DS1k 'windowed' belt covers Post by: DucHead on January 03, 2012, 03:54:53 AM Impressive!! [thumbsup]

I used a dremel on my front sprocket cover to cut the slots open. I can't even get the 3-5 inch cut straight....
