- Sold Out
- Just wanted to let you know that all the parts we made are sold out for the Joe Cell, and if it would be possible to take our company off the website for parts. I'm leaving this company, so my boss won't continue to make these anymore. The parts are actually almost ready to be shipped. I will send you a picture of the finished tubes as a group picture, so you can post it if you like on your site, maybe more peopel will get interested in making parts for the group. -- Tom (May 15, 2006)

Parts
Pricing / Time
I finally got the total for the completed Joecell outside cannister. The most expensive part is the 5" tube that is 316L and has a wall thickness of 0.085. The price with the fuse welding the top cover and related lasercut parts is US$195. There will be only 24 pieces made as that is the amount of tube we can order at once. If you are interested, please let me know asap. It takes 2 weeks to get the 5" cut pipe in. So total time would be about 3 weeks. These prices are all at cost and only done for this group. -- Tom (Apr 21, 2006) [1] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/482)
We got a price on the innertubes as listed on the blueprints, and a set of 2, 3 and 4" in 316L with a wallthickness of 0.065 is US$55.00
We are looking at finding people to buy the 30 sets we will get. If there is not enough demand, we will not be able to buy them and the orders will have to get cancelled unfortunatly, since we don't want to end up having these in stock as they are spendy. -- Tom (Apr 21, 2006) [2] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/486)
I just called Tom and ordered the tank setup and the tubes that he can get. $250 all said and done. -- Brad (Apr 21, 2006) [3] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/497)
Discussion
I work for a lasercutting company and am able to cut these ring parts with holes pretty easy out of 0.100" thick 316 stainless. If there would be enough demand for it I could ask my boss to see if we can cut some for you guys for cost, being material and machine use. I look for about a 10 part count, since it takes time to do the setup. Tom (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/204)
It seems like there is enough interest for these parts, so I will try
to put some prices together for the parts. I'm also looking
into the idea to put the welded cannister together, so that all you
would need is the parts that go inside. The bottom cutout part is made
for a tube wall thickness of 0.060" Since this can vary to what some
people can get, that's the reason why I was thinking of that idea. I
will post some more info tomorrow and will definetly consider the ebay
way of selling. This way I can sell it for a set price without bidding
and payments would not be a problem. I also will post a photo of the
parts that were cut with this email. (Apr 18, 2006 [4] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/231))
I did a magnetic test here at work this morning to see the
difference in the cutting of the stainless 316L. And it is like I
was describing before, quite a bit of magnetic attraction on the
parts we cut with oxygen, and the same attraction as non cut 316L
with the piece cut by nitrogen, even 316L has a little attraction as
described by many people online. Since these pieces have to be
welded somehow, they will get more magnetic at the welds and I think
it would be a good idea for people to get the parts heat treated
when they are put together, to get rid of the magnetism and maybe
also the bad vibes from certain people handling the parts. Any
suggestions on this? (Apr 19, 2006) [5] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/279)
Cut with N instead of O (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/255)
I just discussed this project with my boss, and he is willing to
help out to cut these parts at cost. The parts that are shown in the
photo gallery and to the specs of Bill's blueprints will cost $40,
this includes the holes tapped for the bolts on the cover. The
center top hole will be cut out for a 3/8NPT pipe. I'm looking into
the outside tube prices and welding which will be listed later.
Since ebay costs money and is time consuming, I decided to let the
company I work for to do the transactions.
They have a creditcard machine and can ship via UPS or Fed EX.
The price of $40 includes $27 in material. Shipping is according to what UPS or Fed Ex Charges. (Apr 19, 2006) [6] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoesCell2/message/291)
I'm getting prices together for a complete vessel without the inner pieces. All welded together like shown in the drawing. Please contact the company I work for to make an order as they will do the processing.
