Custom drilled 19" panels


Biskit

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a company who drills/punches 19" rack panels to custom spec? I need a connector panel to bring the (presently rear-mounted) connections on an old mixer to a front panel. A standard pre-drilled panel won't work as I need 11 connectors evenly spaced across the panel (to line up with input and output channel strips on the mixer), while all standard panels have 12 or 16 D-size holes, so wouldn't line up. Also, some channels require holes for 2 x jack instead of one XLR.

 

I could do this myself but it would be a lot of faff and I want it to be really neat and tidy. If nowhere does it I will take a blank panel to a local engineering firm to do, but thought I'd ask here first!

We have used proaudioshop.co.uk in the past with pleasing results, Mark is very helpful and I'd highly recommend. It looks like their site is down at the moment and links to any ebay store.

 

They made all our bespoke panels for UHF racks, d&b D12 racks amongst others.

The last time I needed something like this done, I took a standard 1U blanking panel to a local sheet metal workshop - a place that fabricates stuff like ventilation ducting and commercial kitchen equipment - and they punched/machined some holes in it based on a sketch.

 

It was a really hot day. The "fee" was 4 ice creams and 2 bottles of Irn Bru.
