Guys, I have a feeling this must be possible to lazer cut hand holes or access door holes on alum pipe/tubing. This will need to be cut on one wall only. I tried to look up but couldn't find any. All I could find were cutting both walls. or slicing the tube. Can I get some suggestions on if...

Part is AL1100. I think I like the idea of engraving. Thx guys.

Hi, I have a spot for label on this product that has a operating temp around 100C I don't want the label to by itself peel out or deform due to temp. There is no way to open the product in field to replace labels. So I request suggestion on label material or any special stick on labels Thx C1

Hi, Is there a standard value for Coefficient of Drag for a Flag? Anybody have any good reference for this? Thanks C1

The blind holes you are seeing on the print are holes ready to take a thread forming screws. Now Iam feeling confident to try the anodizing at the end if the operation. Thanks. Is it right that during the process they immerse the entire extrusion into a chemical tank?

TVP we are the end user & its OK to have layer inside holes if its as little as rn1957 was talking about. I am actually concerned if the anodizing can leave much thicker deposits like sometimes it happens in powder coating.

RB, thanks for responding. from that it appears to be no problem to anodize at thd end od sequesnce..

Please ignore typo presiding ; it should be reading precision.

Al Extrusion need some presiding drilling and anodizing. What's best sequence. Drilling or anodizing ?

Thank you guys. I love this forum. Kudos to u both

Is there a good reference to design extruded holes for tapping holes for screws. Here is an image of the hole I am referring to. The one that goes right thru the middle of the extrusion. http://www.hercules-online.com/catalog/doors_and_windows/3/aluminum_extruded_profile_136.html Thx C1

Is there a way to open an file in read only mode ? I don't intent to make changes while I have it open and at the same time have the file available for others who may want to open in writable mode. In our office we use a spread sheet parts log file and more than 20 guys use it. If I am using it...
