Currently the mobo for my new pack is wood, but its temporary as for accuracy’s sake I get my hands on an aluminum mobo, but I’m close to several metal suppliers and know people who are familiar with riveting and cutting metal. But if I decided to make my own mobo from aluminum, than what should I use to cut it with? A regular jig saw with a metal bit or something else entirely? You be the judge.
Yes.
No.
Maybe.
I don’t know. Can you repeat the question?
You’re Not the boss of me now
If you have to pay retail for the aluminum sheet you might as well purchase it laser cut from MMM price will probably be nearly the same…
If you cut you own a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade will do just fine… A good rule of thumb on cutting metal sheet with a saw is that 3 or 4 teeth should always be in contact with the metal… So for 1/8" sheet you want a 24 or 32 tooth per inch blade… This will help avoid grabing and chunking, resulting in a much better (and safer) cut, with much nicer edges…
Finish the edges with a file and then a quick sand…
just dont stand on the quick sand as it could cause a problem.
