The Incredible GASKET MAKER your WIFE already knows about!

We needed a full set of gaskets for this chainsaw restoration and Amy came through with a tool she had already bought for a different purpose!

Thank you for this video. My husband just walked in and said "I might have to buy you a Cricut. I was cutting gaskets all morning." This video will support his idea. New crafting toy! Woo hoo!

This seriously just changed my life. My wife has one of these. I own a small engine shop and I'm either running out of gaskets or not able to find obscure gaskets all the time! Thank you so much. You sir are a genius!

Make sure you get that model. The cheap one only cuts out pre-designed images from cartridges, can't do custom designs.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

I use a Silhouette Cameo to make graphics for my projects like Lawnmower Decals, I like the gasket idea but have not tried it yet.

[@garymucher9590]

Another great idea for gaskets is to scam them with a scanner/copier machine and then transfer that scanned gasket image to the program to adjust. Laying a flat ruler in the with the scanned gasket allows you to adjust the image for a perfect fit every time. And I use a LASER Engraver to cut out gaskets. Been doing that for years. And if you don't have the old gasket or it is beyond anything usable (in pieces), you can lay the actual item on the scanner and get the layout that way as well. Works for me!

[@CaneSugarCane]

Hate it when my gaskets get scammed!

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

If you know the dots-per-inch resolution at which the image is scanned, there is no need for also scanning a ruler. Dimensions can be calculated directly from the raster image.

[@aolcncrain6124]

yes, we have this machine

[@philreinie8976]

But isn't a laser engraver more than $10K? How thick of a material does it cut, and can it cut neoprene rubber (not foam), say 1mm thick?

This along with 3D printers is really allowing diy hobbyists to access a whole new world of possibilities.

[@KiltedMusician]

I too have noticed this machine’s usefulness. I plan on using my wife’s Silhouette Cameo II for making silicone flapper valves for bagpipes. Put wax paper down, spread 100% silicone onto it, place cardboard spacers on each side, another sheet of wax paper on top, rolling pin to flatten the silicone out to the cardboard thickness, then let dry. Now you’ve got a uniform sheet of silicone to put in the cutter. It doesn’t release as well as you’d think though so you have to use a heat gun or blow drier to soften the wax when you remove the paper. The heat certainly won’t hurt the silicone.

[@gubr]

Really old Laserjet 4L can print on paperboard since it feeds it from the front to the back without bending it, might be able to print onto the gasket material directly. They are very old and often need a gear replaced inside, though. Scan the old gasket, try a bit until you figured out the scale factor and print.

[@cmpphilip]

Good DYI video, using the CNC cutter is a really great trick. Here is a trick to add your bag of tricks. Use a scanner to scan in the parts the gasket has to fit, the higher resolution the scan the more dimensionly stable they are. I've been scanning in gaskets for years then just printing the outline on to gasket material on a inexpensive desktop printer. Every thing from carbs to truck transmissions anything that would fit the scanner. But then cutting them by hand. You've taken it to the next level. Thumbs up Just saw that Gary had already suggested the same approach.
