I thought this group might be able to appreciate this part. I ordered 5 from PCBWay. They are 1/4" mild steel. For just over $30USD each I got them in 16 days. But I have SO MANY questions about their process.
I wanted to share my incredulity with group that might also have their minds blown with this.
Isn’t this just a Cnc mill and then putting it in a press break after? What’s so special?
They CNC milled the thickness, then laser cut it, them formed it. It's that first part that shouldn't have happened.
I just assumed it was a CNC brushed finish, pretty standard finish for non painted parts when we order anything local.
Removes dings and picks and gives it a uniform look.
