Hi,
I am un the UK and want to get some parts CnC ed like my mast clamp as i broke it twice now over tightening etc
Has anyone found a cheap place to get parts CNCnd
Anyone got any parts made from china?
I haven’t found any cheap places, but will be interesting to see if anyone else has. Where are you in the UK?
South Wales newport,Gwent
I am in Shanghai, China. I don’t know how much expensive in UK. But We may have an indicate compare. I Paid nearly 21 pounds for cnc ing one mast clamp. I also felt it is way expensive than 3D printing. I think it is reasonable cost more when single piece cnc machining. cnc is good at mass production.
£21… That’s insanely cheap to CNC the mast clamp. Here in the UK you would be looking at probably £300 for a once off!
300 pounds? Unbelievable.
I need clarification to avoid any mislead. I mark out it on following photo of my e-foil. That part impossible for the insane cost in UK. Are you sure?
Yes thats the clamp. Its about £150 per piece. Clamp is 2 pieces.
Thats a very nice foil!
I think someone in the forum recommended this company from china: China CNC Machining - Runsom Precision
I bookmarked it at the time, never ordered from them though. Might be worth even with additional shipping cost.

Which NAISH Thrust surf foil do you have ? L or XL ?
Size: M | Standard Mast Size: 55 cm | Aspect Ratio: 3.54 | Wingspan: 23.8"/60.5 cm | Projected Surface Area: 1,032 cm2
Size: L | Standard Mast Size: 55 cm | Aspect Ratio: 3.54 | Wingspan: 26.1"/66.2 cm | Projected Surface Area: 1,236 cm2
Size: XL | Standard Mast Size: 55 cm | Aspect Ratio: 4.75 | Wingspan: 34"/86.4 cm | Projected Surface Area: 1,572 cm2
Using a caliper, could you give me CH, TH and L in mm ? (chord, thickness)

@morgansteven1970 I paid $180 USD to have the motor gearbox mount CNC machined from aluminum on 3DHubs.
Hey Jezza, That s make good sense to me, Thanks. It was wrong number. I call the rear part of the mast clamp ”tube mount rear”. And I paid £95 for it. So I paid £116 in total for the complete mast clamp. Think if including the shipping. It is not super cheap to CNC here in China, Isn’t it?
I have L and XL. the mast is exchangeable. I like XL. It works better for me.
Sure, I can do the measure for u during the weekend.
