    Gun Outlines

    Thought I would start here. I'm looking for an outline of a Glock Compact ( 19,23,32) and a Kimber 1911 Outline. I was asked todo a foam cut for a Pelican Style case. Any Ideas where I would be able to track down Images todo? Your Guys help is Greatly appreciated!

    You may need to scale and convert, but this should get you started

    Another thought: go to your local gun store with some 8.5 x 11 and a pencil and ask to trace them. While you are there, mention you can laser cut foam for gun cases and leave some cards.

    Closed cel is the better choice since it will not take on moisture as compared to open cel.

    I've used these guys before: http://www.foamforyou.com/Closed_Cell_Foam.htm

    Thanks for the source for the foam. I have never cut foam, may I ask how think you cut in one pass, or do you do more passes? I just want know know what thickness to order so I can try it. I have a 45W Helix.
