![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | I thought your link was correct Michael, the results are what I thought the OP wanted - louvers both sides but that actually look like a single row when viewed. The same profile could be made on a longer press tool and die if the OP wanted a set louver length or as the link to make infinite lengths

1723 forum posts | When you've pressed all the louvres on one side, turn panel over and repress on other side. Panel is already pierced so you're only depressing the hump into the second side. Regards Ian. |
