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!

[@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?

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.

[@bqqstin]

I have used my wife's Cricut machine to make gaskets. It's a LIFESAVER!

[@EVILVIKTOR]

I make a photocopy of the gasket I want. Cut it out, use it as a stencil. $30.00 printer and an Exacto.

[@tompatterson802]

We improved the knife as well. Check out the Cricut TrueControl Knife.

[@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.

[@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.

[@brianseibert946]

Hi from England Looks good Justin... One thing of note: Make sure gasket material used is the same thickness as the original...as if not then you risk altering the compression ratio on a 2 stroke...and can also affect end float on shafts/gears etc... 👍

Sounds like a new business to me. Mail old gaskets or send picture via email and get new one in mail. I'm sure there are people that would pay for this.

[@dkruitz]

In the past if I had a good but stiff/old gasket I would lay it over new material and then lightly spray paint over which gives me a perfect pattern to cut out the new one from. I missed somewhere in this where you actually got the pattern into the computer- did you have a scanner or draw those or what, because that looks like it's past most people's abilities.

Did this a few years ago, the old gaskets were so far gone. I did a rubbing then made new ones in illustrator from scratch. If you have a good image you can live trace and export as a dxf file and open in any cutter including laser

[@Connor-lv9wt]

This is genius

[@kevinwarner959]

Not sure of anyone else mentioned this, but if you cut the small gaskets within the larger ones, you will save a lot of material.

[@maciver6969]

We used to take a candle and let the soot coat a metal spoon for a few minutes then rub the carbon onto the original part then place a paper against it and rub it leaving the PERFECT outline on the paper so you can scan it or trace it.

[@jjkeaton7085]

Ive had a vinyl cutter for years and never thought of this! Amazing idea. Im gonna get to programming for my old Harleys!

[@StripeyType]

It may be difficult to get your photos to be completely straight-on sometimes. In those situations, along with your ruler that you use as a reference, you can add some known-circular item (a quarter, a dime, w/e) and then as your first step in your graphic design program, you can use that shape to correct for the perspective for the camera, taking care of whatever keystone error you may have introduced by mistake. Some rulers are actually made with circles of known size on them, exactly for this purpose, for taking evidence photos in the field.

[@elmeradams8781]

How accurate can pictures get (as far as skew, or whatever you called it)?

[@Levibetz]

The other thing you can do instead of photographing the gaskets is to scan them on a flatbed scanner. With that you can get a really accurate scan, likely dimensionally accurate to boot.

[@elmeradams8781]

Mine aren't staying the right size, as far as ratio, they are perfect. But they still need resized. Do you know what scanner settings might fix this?

[@Levibetz]

@@elmeradams8781 Double check your DPI settings and make sure you're always designing off a matching DPI. For example if you scan at 300dpi, make sure when you bring the image into whatever software 300 pixels is still 1 inch. When I deal with Fusion 360, which infuriatingly doesn't have a feature where you can set the size of an image you import, I manually find the pixel count of the image dimensions, sketch those out, and then scale it to match.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

That worked great. And I have made thousands of gaskets by hand.

[@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.

Maybe cricut could make a shop model that could do longer pan gaskets and design a software that could be added to by customers that when they make a gasket for things it could list it in a library others can use afterwards. Atleast getting close is better then nothing. I own a fabrication shop and already run a large cnc plasma table and do the same process to make metal parts. I would definitely get one of these.
