Custom sized aluminium enclosure required

Gosh that's brave, how are you going to hold it down and stop it bending away from the tool/galling once the temper has gone :naughty:

32mm deep doesn't exactly lend itself to small internal corner radii and the spec is too loose. Sounds like an invitation either to do a lot of drawing and not get the job, or chop up £25 worth of stock and then get told it's all wrong. I can see why he's having problems finding a volunteer :whistling:

Well, strangely enough, I was looking into ali welding for another problem and i came across Durafix which might do the job. Anyone used it?

I bought some but haven't tried it yet. May be one of those you buy which look useful but never actually use :naughty:

Your local waterjet shop should be able to sort that, probably for cash if you supply your own material. Base would need to be removable as said before, internal radius 0.5mm min and width of cut 0.8mm so you get back a nice lump to make something else out of. Our customers often get us to rough pockets in 50mm stainless just so they can use the 'pocket' for another job. Better than turning it into swarf!
All the best.
