Some great suggestions, thank you. I have requested pricing from a couple of laser cutting companies so will be interesting to see what they come back with.
In terms of the number of holes... only a few... 50 on EACH of the 4 sides :-(
Accuracy in the 0.5mm ballpark.
1st batch would be maybe 20 of the 2300mm lengths and 20 900mm lengths. This would allow us to complete the prototyping and put some into use for testing.
I'm was going down the mag drill path but was possibly overthinking the jig - there needs to be some balance between time spent marking out and some indexing completed by the jig otherwise error could creep in both with the marking out and tool positioning over the marks?
The laser tube cutting...
1st post so I hope that I'll give enough information to get some good tips/advice!
we've a project that we're planning which will involve the drilling/cutting of a LOT of 20mm holes in 75x50x3mm tube. We need to drill/cut the holes very accurately down the centre line of each face of the tube...
Quick hello from a new member. Not a pro welder but have been involved in some projects and will be venturing out on my own with a new project that I have a question or two that any help with would be appreciated!
