Enclosure construction

Posted Sun, 11/29/2015 - 12:09pm by k7gmb

Finishing off a couple of projects and would like to give them the best look possible. I'd like to have the enclosure faceplate openings stamped. Are there any fab shops in/about town that would take on one-offs ?? Tnx..

Don't know of any fab shop

Don't know of any fab shop with the equipment local, but I'm sure there are some. I have some round punches for meters and such if that would help. Otherwise I've been stuck with nibbling tool and files. Not fun.

Let me know if you find something.

Hey Steve. Tnx for the reply. Yep, nibbling and filing will test you. If the display I'm using has a wide bezel, it's not a problem. If not, it never has a polished look. I'll keep my nose in the breeze and if I stumble across an accommodating shop, I'll certainly pass that info along. 73's
