Extruded Aluminum
Hello,
I'm looking for some extruded aluminum. Car stereo amps use extruded aluminum to make their chassis. I was wondering if anyone knows a source for this sort of extrusion. Thanks |

Lane To add to that, windows, and most things are that way - e.g. handles. Either Stamped, extruded, or poured. I think you need to re-phrase the need - do you need a maker or just what?

I was wondering if anyone knows a source for this sort of extrusion. Thanks Are you referring to the ribbed heat fins? Best bet is to find some in a scrap metal place unless you have lots of time and money, or get some solid aluminum scrap and make it on a milling machine or a table saw. Doing the job on a table saw will not be a lot of fun. |
