Many companies in NL just do B2B.
Since i am still private they will not take orders or do rfq.

Since these parts are to be my Y Z carriage mounting plates .. i do want at least half decent quality parts.

If these plates are to be 150 euros in 6082 or lower strenght and 180 in 7075 .. i rather spend 30 on 7075... it is the weakest link in my gantry..

I dont want to go to heavy so 50kg gantry is about max.. thinner is lighter... well you know... try to do not OTT and spend money where it matters most.

Grtz. Bert.

Hi Bert,

Totally understand your thinking for the sake of an extra thirty Euros... I've found 7075 to be quite a bit more expensive than the 6082 here in the UK, but hey - maybe I'm shopping in the wrong places!

In practical terms, it would be interesting to see how much difference to the strength using 7075 would make...

All the best!

Wal.
