RE: Aluminum plate thickness for amp project

Hello,

Thanks for all of the input - very helpful.

Sounds like 1/8 aluminum will be my approach, and there were some good stiffening suggestions if there is a slight issue.

I am hoping to do the machining myself. Something I have to look into. I am trying to maximize my involvement in the project, and feel pretty comfortable tackling most things. I realize the importance of the case, and am fine with spending the time to get it done right (and purdy). I have not worked on anything exactly like this before, so pointers and tool/bit suggestions would be appreciated. I do have a 4" throat drill press that can reach the larger holes for the transformers. Power transformer cutout should be interesting to deal with. Also have to tackle two 2 1/4" diameter holes in the center of the plate to accommodate the 805 tube sockets.

Regards -- Roger
