3 forum posts | Thanks for your replies.I have located several suppliers who stock the item I'm looking for(copper perf plate 0.7mm thick .5mm hole.pitch 7mm) The problem is that they only supply in 1x2 meter plate size,and since I make Microphones this would keep me going for a very long time,apart from costing £200.! I need about half a meter sq. |

You could even try fancy hole shapes or patterns. Cost is generally quite reasonable. https://www.lasermaster.co.uk/materials/brass-copper Robert |
