    Cheap/free Aluminium Eggcrate in Australia

    Hey guys, was looking around a while ago for some eggcrate I could get in Aus, and came across these guys. One thing I didn't notice at first however, is they actually have a clearance section here: Insulation Industries - Product Catalogue-Clearance- Free and discount items

    Just scored a nice 550x740 peice of eggcrate for only $32 to ship it up to me, they have quite a few there. They also produce sheets up to 1220x1220 for a pretty decent price if you need it for a larger machine, or they have no clearance products.

    Just thought I'd share

    Thanks Dan.

    What is the egg crate made from, and iff not metal, what do you use it for?

    I just ordered some acoustic ducting from them and an extra exhaust fan.

    It's made of aluminium, perfect for a honeycomb replacement for low power machines as a cutting bed

    How much did the exhaust fan set you back? Which one? I was kinda looking for a better one for my machine, as the fumes do still make it back into the garage

    Champion!
    They are 10mins drive from me.
    Got a double adjustable angle grill for $1 approx the right size, and eggcrate enough to do my K40 three times for $10.
    Thanks!
