Cost of fabricating a metal control panel?
Ummon:
They'll probably be listed under laser cutting or water cutting. Or try fabrication - metal. Certainly online listings will come up from those words.

Probably throwing "CNC" into the search criteria would help too. Im getting a buddy to do a new panel at my work for me. We arent subcontractors though Im afraid.

a local friend of my father made me mine. he cut a sheet of 1/8" steel and bent it with this huge press. he didnt wanna charge me for it but i gave him $40 anyways. i drilled the holes myself with a step bit. step bit was $40 and it was dull after 14 holes.

If he had that gear, he probably had a proper drill press.

yea he did but he was is always really busy and i did not have the button layout ready. the plan was to take it home, mark out all the holes and then take it back. after i got all of it figured out, i tried to contact him for days but never got a hold of em.
ended up buying the bit and doing it myself.
he did have a sweet drill press though. has like 5 presses all in one. you can put different bits in each press and just go down the line.
