Chris, have you ever considered getting a shim punch set similar to this:https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/52426152If you watch for sales you can get it for about half that price and this set can punch washers as well in soft materials up to .020" thick and in steel shim stock up to about .010" Would work well for that 1/64" fiber gasket stock you linked to. I will usually make a plan copy of the part needing the gasket and glue it to the gasket material and then use that as a guide for punching all the holes. Works like a charm and makes nice clean holes easily. Just a thought.Bill
Here's a trick I learned for make those gaskets. Before you put in the studs, mark out the gaskets by pressing the cylinder ends and steam chest into a stamp pad and then the gasket material. That will give you an outline with all of the holes marked. It makes cutting them out much easier.Tony
Speaking of gaskets...I have a CO2 laser. Useful for making gaskets? Or will the material simply burn?
Is it a plotter type laser or handheld?How many gigawatts is it?
