[QUOTE="PeterT, post: 6213, member: 22"] Oops, just noticed a boo-boo on my part. You have an array of 13 sets of holes in X direction, I only had 12. New PDF. Another idea - have you considered having the entire part cut & pilot hole spotted by a 2D water jet or laser company? Depending on accuracy & what you are set up to do, your job could be as simple as drilling out the pilot holes to finish tap hole size & hand tapping (in case of threaded) & similar operation for the cap screw holes. This wont do anything for surface finish so you will have to figure that part out beforehand. I sent a small job to Clearcut for water jetting & was happy with the price & their willingness to work. Laser Equation does laser, but they may guide you about localized hardening of the holes (= potential tapping issue). If you drop by for a visit they can show you samples to visualize what the edges & kerf etc. looks like. Nothing beats machined surfaces of course, but that's a tedious number of holes = more operator time on manual machine. This stuff is more what 2D cnc action can do more readily over a manual machine at least. [/QUOTE]
