BC we all have a laser cutting machine!
Thanks for another useless thread!
Today I'm going to show you how to make IAC housing gasket for Buell XB (Part Number P0284.5AA).
Instead of buying pricey genuine Buell gasket from dealer you can cut a bunch of your own gaskets from same material for same price.
Genuine IAC gasket for Buell made of Interface Solutions Gasket Material N-8092 .031" which is Aramid/Buna-N Gasket Material blend.
You can buy this material here https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pc-Interf...xYko7Z&vxp=mtr
or here https://www.mcmaster.com/#9470k26/=19z4apv
I carefully measured original IAC housing gasket and created CAD model
Then I created PDF file with cutting pattern to cut 25 gaskets from one material sheet 244x265mm
You have to download the PDF cutting file here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t4H...ew?usp=sharing
Upload the PDF file in lased cutting machine, set necessary setting for laser cutting machine. I used cutting profile for silicone rubber 0.8mm thick to cut this material.
Place the gasket material sheet in laser cutting machine
Start cutting process
Go grab some soda and get back in a few minutes.
Remove the gaskets from laser cutting machine
Carefully clean gaskets with compressed air
I also recommend you to stack the gaskets, clamp them with piece of wood and blows the gasket edges to clean them thoroughly
Done!
Place the gaskets in your toolbox so you can reach them when you need them
Now you have 25 gaskets and one more extra sheet of gasket material, and everything costs you less than one gasket from dealer. Now you do not need to care about this IAC housing gasket for whole your life.

Then this thread should have been about how you can simply trace an old gasket on to gasket material and cut a new gasket out by hand.
Instead this is another one of your threads on how to totally over complicate a simple process.
At least that's what it looks like to me.
Im sure I'm not only one..... ......but I've been wrong, many times, before.
Today if you send me your XB I can show you how to actually fix it. Instead of showing us cool laser cnc cutting tools.
if you REALLY wanted to impress board members you would have wrapped up yet another one of these "look at me"..."acknowledge how talented and brilliant i am" threads with something along the lines of:
"made 25....need 1...keeping a few spares....have 22 available i'll never use....any board member wanting one let me know. it's cost of material and $1 to send to you."
THAT would have impressed even me.
^^^^^John I was curious as to whether he was going to give them away or offer em up at least
not this guy wally. wouldn't generate enough attention to satisfy his insatiable appetite.
