1st step: decide the parameters of the aluminium bar;
2nd step: find the fitting router tool or send the aluminium bar to the router tool manufacturer to produce suitable tool;
3rd step: find the fitting slatwall hooks or sent the aluminium bar to the slatwall hook manufacturer to produce suitable hooks.
(You can sent the aluminium bar to the tool manufacturer and hook manufacturer at the same time, this can save a lot of time.)
Prepared everything well, we can start to produce slatwall panel with our cnc router.
