project box needed

[Sawmiller]

hi guys
anyone have a good source for a project box with a slanted top ??
i need one that is made from alum. or steel about 6 x 10 x4 inch or so
with a slanted top 10 inches wide by 6 deep
this is so the keypad and the lcd are easy to read and use
anyone have a fav fab guy ? i really dont want to cut this stuff out and weld it... i do thicker stuff ( box out of 1/4" plate ?)

Try this place, they have ALL different types of enclosures! http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/jumpin.gif

BTW; If you get the aluminum boxes, U can use a nibbler to cut out the openings.
I trace the openings with a pencil, make a small hole inside opening, and enlarge hole using a step drill bit so I can finish /trim with a nibbler...
Works great, no scratching...http://forums.parallax.com/images/smilies/smilewinkgrin.gif

Hi Dan,

Try www.automationdirect.com (http://www.automationdirect.com)

They have lots of enclosures and some sloped ones, and by the way they are usually 30%-40% cheaper than Hammond or Hoffman enclosures.

They are made by Wegman, and I use them in my Industrial Stamp and PLC Sytems.
