    Need RFQ for 6061 drilling and tapping

    I need a quote for this part. It's 1/2" 6061 plate I would ship to your house or business. It's 12x8". It would need teh top and bottom squared, but the other two sides aren't crucial. It has 28 m6 holes. They all need tapped. I live in Northeast PA for shipping purposes.

    I don't want to do this job, but if its a fixture plate, you may want to consider mic 6 aluminum cast plate. it will be flat on both sides not requiring machining. and then I would add heli coils to all the m6 threads to ensure they don't pull out with repeated use. yes it will make it more expensive but its the right way to do it.
