Wanted Seeking Australia based machinist to make a sewing machine slide plate

[AllisonEtc123]

Hi everyone, I restore vintage sewing machines and have a pristine Borletti model 2000 ZZ but it's missing it's slide plate. I'm based in Canberra Australia and seeking to pay someone to make one. I'm planning on getting the dimensions of the plate from someone but haven't got there yet, work in progress. Grateful your thoughts and appreciate your consideration.

A part like that I would make at less on jig problem two jigs will be need. I would use a aluminum for jigs.

It is a flat thin part and may shift in machining.

Always make two or three for chrome plating. Sometimes in chrome plating the player will damaged the part and easier to make 2 or 3 at one time

I have seen parts like this made in a easy to machine brass best to purchase the correct thickness.

FYI This is model engine and machinist site.
A odd part for most on this site.
Good luck

One part of manufacturering a lot of parts use jigs , specially chuck Jaws, dies, tool bits, taps and even machine tools too make a thousands part.

Now do this for just one replacement part on old equipment too.
