Im looking for a Perth company to route/punch/mill some conntector slots in some 1.6mm aluminium enclosure end plates.
Can anyone recommend a place that does this in small volumes - 10 to 20 pieces at a time.
The cut out is a simple 32x7mm slot. I've heard some engraving companies may be able to do them.
Any suggestions + cost guesstimates gratefully received. rob

20Yep, I've had some stainless D connector panels done before - neat & cheap in 50+ units.
I haven't called any of the sheeties with lasers as they seem to be interested in sticking a plain sheet on the table and cutting away. I've assumed that cutting the end plates that I have would be to fiddly for them to bother with and that the price would be jacked up to compensate for this.
An alternative would be to get completely new plates cut/bent but this would mean getting them powder coated or anodised black like the originals.
A mini cnc mill in the workshop would be nice....

If you want to go this way CTSM have good contacts for powder coating as well
