There was a guy from NS who kit funded (Kickstarter) a laser cutter - Adrian Page
But I have not heard of him in a few years. Surprising as i thought he would have started a kit building business
He lived in Berwick

Put the same request on the HEFA forum. There might be somebody there that might be able to help.

Found this on the Hefa site :
according to the company's facebook page they can Cut, Engrave and 3D print
Apparently they are located in Lower Sackville.

Hey ET; I think Don gets kits laser cut from an outfit in the States I believe. I am 3/4 done a kit I had cut from Top Notch Quality kits in the States. A very nice cutting job and he was fast. He has more models set up than shown on his web page. I guess it depends on, if the model you wish cut has already been set up for cutting by someone. I have a laser which easily cuts balsa, and am very familiar with Autocad etc; However; there is a lot of time spent tracing an original plan and making allowances for different thicknesses of wood etc; Unfortunately it's not a simple matter of scanning and cutting. Therefore, rather than spend all this time, I just ordered mine up from someone who has already invested the time. If it is some ribs you wish cut or something simple like that, I could do this for you, no issue. Kevin Baker

Thanks guise. I already started cutting everything by hand and it's progressing well and should start assembly soon. The plane I'm building is a Carl Goldberg extra 300 to replace my grate plane extra 300 that crashed 2 weekends ago

Cool, let me know of I can cut something which is repetitive for you like wing ribs or formers. These are usually quick to trace & reproduce quickly. Regards Kevin Baker
