Crossle Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have a 1/4" steel plate that I need about a dozen holes drilled through. The holes are going to be about the size of a quarter. Any suggestions on someone who can do this/has the tooling to do this. I REALLY don't want to use a hand drill. Best case scenario I drop off the plate, holes marked I come back exchange monies and I go on my way. Any input helps, I am just stumped on this one.

Richard Cranium Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Machine shop with a plasma cam? How precise do the holes have to be? Could you free hand them with a plasma cutter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
