Hammond Case Panel Cutting
Hammond Case Panel Cutting
I have housed my Minitiouner in a nice Hammond 1455N1201 metal enclosure.
I now need to get someone to cut the four requisite holes out of the panel for the LNB connections, Power and USB. I do not have the tools or, any longer, the manual dexterity to do them myself.
Can someone recommend a firm to whom I can send the panel along with the drawing to get the holes cut? There seems to be quite a choice on the internet but I would have a recommendation.
Thanks,
David G4NRT

Hi David,
only a suggestion: Why not using a 3D printed cover as the member "Radiogareth" has offered here in the forum a few month ago.
Maybe he can print a set (front and rear) for you.

Thanks Rainer, I have emailed him although I would prefer to use the nice metal end plates which came with the box ...

I normally use https://www.schaeffer-ag.de/en/ , but it would be costly for this one off. Here is an example https://flic.kr/p/z4Aw5W

Re: Hammond Case Panel Cutting
David, no email received in the last few days, I designed the end plate after I fitted the wrong OLED display to my alloy plates, rendering them u/s. I used the paper template glued on, but even though I class my making skills as 'good' it wasn't a nice job.
Hence the 3-D printed parts, with the bonus of embossed text labels and customisation (name, callsign).
Send me a PM on here by all means.
