Hi all,
I'm new here as of today and love the site. I'm an almost complete novice to metal works, but I need a way to produce small runs of .062 aluminum panels (up to about 9" x 10") for my home based electronics business. I do know electronics. My goal (he says with a grin) is to keep the cost under $1500 or so. Is it even possible?
I'm comfortable putting things together mechanically and electrically, but have no idea where or what to even start looking for. I have a drill press, a decent hobby lathe and a good assortment of basic shop tools.
Do I look for v mills, routers, kits, DIY, bits & pieces - I just don't know. I'm sure this question (or one like it) has been asked before so I just ask for guidance or links on where to even start looking.
Any assistance is most welcome.
Thanks!
Doug
