Chaps, A daft question can L gaskets be machined on a lathe or multi axis machine centre? the gasket material needs to be slightly elastomeric/rubbery as will need to be water tight to 15Bar minimum. Diameter around 30mm I.D and O.D. 34mm, height 2.5mm L section thickness 1mm. Thanks in advance. Bry |

How about use the lathe to make a mould and cast your own from liquid neoprene, or some such? |

Interesting idea John, I don't have a machinist lathe and haven't got into moulding or casting yet. Any of you guys made moulds to cast rubber then? Bry |

Hi Bry. I think it could been done but...... :smart: there are some special set up regards this. I have had it done by a company(here in Norway) who have the right setup/machines to do it. not so expensive I think. search the Web and I'm sure you will find someone "near you" who can help you out.

Thanks Crank, Actually sent an email this morning but waiting for a reply, I think a slightly hard rubber L gaskets would be ok as long as it has some give. |
