Free ring and washer DXF generator
Type a ring's outside and inside diameters, and Nestor draws the ring and gives you its DXF, free, in inches or millimeters: two true circles, ready for laser, plasma, waterjet or router. The same shape makes a washer, a spacer or a round shim.
Make your ring (washer)
How it works
- Type the sizes in inches or millimeters. The part is drawn to scale as you type.
- If a size can’t work, such as a hole off the edge or two holes overlapping, the generator says what to change.
- Download the DXF, free. With a free account, save it to your parts library or nest it on a sheet in Nestor.
Questions
Ring or washer?
The same shape: a disc with a round hole in its middle. Type the outside and inside diameters for either.
Is it free?
Yes. Drawing a part and downloading its DXF is free and needs no account. With a free Nestor account you can also save the part to your parts library, or send it straight to Nestor's nesting tool to nest it on a sheet.
Inches or millimeters?
Either. Type sizes in inches (fractions such as 3/4 or 6 1/2 work) or in millimeters, and the DXF is written in the unit you pick, with its units set in the file so CAM software opens it at the right size.
What is in the DXF?
Only the cut lines: the outline and the holes, on one layer, as circles, straight lines and true arcs (rounded corners are arcs, not short straight pieces), in an AutoCAD R12 DXF, the version cutting software opens most widely.
Does it check the part?
Yes. The DXF can't be downloaded while a hole runs off the edge, holes overlap, or less than 1/16 in of metal is left between two cuts or a cut and an edge; the generator says what to change.
