Cad and Zinc Plating

[Hugh Heifer]

I used to belong to a yahoo group that had a bunch of people doing their own plating. Some were set up for doing small jobs.

Try this:

Electroplating : A group to help hobbiest electroplaters,or anyone interested in electroplating. All experience levels are welcome!!!!

I just tried it and cound not connect for some reason.

Got on. Kewl

Anyone ever try to cad plate something as large as a front brake caliper, or know a company that can do it?

Moat large cities should have a plating company and production companies that are making parts send out to have it all plated. Google plating in your area.

THey have chromed for me in the past and currently are chroming and plating all my 45 needs. I took everything in a bucket to them from tiny to fairly large. I think it was $100-$150.

Anyone try this?

Caswell Inc. - Copy Cad® and Zinc Plating Kit

I have thousands of nuts, bolts and washers that are in fair condition. For abut $50 I can get one of those jigglers from Harbor Freight and have heard they work good. Then a hundred bucks gets me a plating system. The other day I spent $30 on a small bag of metric hardware at Ace. I figure this set up would pay for itself.

THoughts?

Sup?
We met at the meeting at double tree billiards sometime before the end of the year.
I just now getting back into the swing of things..

I've been looking at that kit as well but didn't wanna drop the $150 plus buy a power supply.

Do you think any of the other guys up here (Chattaboogie) would be interested in going in together for it?

Just a thought!
I hope to make it to the meeting on the 13th......
