where to get aluminium plates cut and drilled

[mekanik]

As Clive said getting the tapped holes in the edge of the plate will be a mare.
It needs to be set up on a mill,clocked in and drilled using digital readout then a couple of dowels after its all squared up. so your back to a machine shop or one of the nice guys on the forum.

Or alternately get a nice member on here (or make yourself) one like Wal had made for drilling and tapping into the end/side of the plates....http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/6164-...-Jig-Finished!
