Re: custom cut aluminum panels for doepfer suitcase

2007-04-10 by jeswa

My plans have changed but I still need anodized 2mm thick aluminum.
I'm planning on making a bunch of Euro modules but have no idea where 
to get the aluminum from.  Doepfer/AH sells blank panels but they're 
pricey and not exactly the sizes I need. Metal Express does not do 
anodized, customcutaluminum.com does .080" (a bit thicker than 2mm) 
but only sells 4'x8' sheets.  Anyone have any ideas?
