local store cut wood everywhere ?

Hello,

Working on a new project, i was wondering if , as i suppose, there is everywhere in the world a local store where we can ask to cut wood and get some nice square and precise pieces ?

I ask here , as i know reprapers are located a little of everywhere on our nice planet

If you feel like, just tell here if i'm right or if it doesn't exist in your country , or too far to be practical .

thank you

I suppose you already know that all the GSB ("Grandes Surfaces de Bricolage", translating approximatively into "DIY supermarkets") in France offer that service.


I've read in those forums somewhere that nophead is also assuming this service is available for the building of his Mendel90 - people are supposed to buy the frame sheets already square-cut.
This means that this service is also widely available in GB.

This also means he probably have had returns from Mendel90 builders about the worldwide availability of that cutting service.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

haaa. thank you deuxvis,

I admit i've missed this part of the mendel90 project (sorry nophead . I have exactly this same idea .. I will look for informations there.

thanks

On many (if not most afaik) larger non-budget lumber yards in norway they will precision cut for you, sometimes for free, sometimes for a negligible fee and sometimes if they are busy you might get to use the saw yourself.

Around here most lumber yard will do basic cuts but I don't know if you'd call it "precision". And it would just be simple cuts, square cuts on sheet material, possibly angled on dimensional lumber. In other words, no complex shapes. Check with sign shops if you need complex shapes as they likely would have a CNC router or laser cutter if you need complex shapes. If they don't, they likely could tell you who does in your area.

Thank you very much

no..no complex shapes. just squares ..well , parallelepipeds simple wood..or whatever exotic nice wood people like..that's the purpose . ( metal would work too i guess, but here in France we get only wood, basically).
