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! 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...smilewinkgrin.gif

    Hi Dan,

    Try 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.
