Hello all,

I am assembling parts lists for my latest technologial mischief, and
gather that a nice way to make arrays of DB9 etc. holes is to use 0.063
inch Aluminum. Is 6061 ok? I assume so, but would rather hear any
concerns in advance rather than after learning the hard way.


It's fine if it's well supported and not
too large. Otherwise AL this thin can feel
flimsy.
