Coming along nicely Tommy!

My hole preference hinges on what it will be used for. Some attachments don't like any play, some don't care. If only one option then I would vote for drilled. JMHO

A third option might be a plasma cut hole a few thou undersize, and the customer does the final, close tolerance drilling! Just an idea! :idea:

Larry and Mike, I believe both of you guys are on to something.

That leads me to develop 1 style bracket and offer 2 finishes; as cut (deburred of course) and drilled or reamed if close tolerance is required.

These open honest conversations are why I love this group.

:cheers:

Me too Tommy. Is this in Stainless? If not, it might be a nice touch. I forget, do you have a website to order from?

$5 each plus shipping.

1/8" mild steel.

Today I'm going to see if I can do a basic oil bluing. I have to break out the propane burner / fire pit anyway.

Tommy, You have a PM

If the bluing doesn't turn out, I understand that home powder coating is supposed to be fairly easy.

There was a bombing run in the garage this afternoon.
I picked up some 1/8 inch hot rolled pickled and oiled. Bluing on mild steel was a failure. I need to change my oil mix to get the color I want.

Parts are cut, lightly dressed edges with 120 flap disc, then filed the catch on the opener.

I spent this afternoon drawing up some weld on brackets.
They'll be that starting point for everything else as I made them scalable.
