Hi Kevin, I could cut them for you on our cnc router but you could do them yourself with a handheld router. All you need to do is cut them to size ie a3/a4 then make a very simple template of the shape you require from a piece of mdf or foam or any material that is easily worked, just jigsaw out the line you marked for the shape you require,then either clamp or use double sided tape to attach it to your workpiece and using a bearing guided straight cutting bit in the router simply cut with bearing running on your template and you get a perfect shaped piece every time.
hope this helps
regards steve
ps you can get cheap routers from BQ or screwfix for about £30 that are more than capable of doing this sort of work. -
thanks for the tip, i just dont have the time at the moment we are snowed under, thats why i need someone else to do them for me.
Could you PM me or email me with a price for about 20 x A3 ones
