I'd like to be about have some areas on a 10mm front panel routed out for aesthetic purposes. If I pay for reanodizing after machining, will the machining marks be removed (e.g., will the routed areas be approximately as smooth as the flat front panel)?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Hello Jay,
It depends on how your panel needs to be machined. Most of the times if the surface is flat enough we sandblast the panel to remove the machining marks but in some cases they are still a bit visible even after the anodization.
If you already have a drawing feel free to send it to me so I can have a look

Slimline 2U front panel
Hi Gianluca -
Attached are preliminary drawings for what I have in mind. The first is the front (outside) of the front panel, and the second is the back. This will be for a Slimline 2U chassis.
Thanks,
Jay

The recesses for the knobs will not have any machining marks, for the "rabbets" there may be some slights marks but if the panel is black anodized they are not going to be very visible.
Thanks. I want to use a silver front panel. I can do without the rabbets except for the knob recesses if you think the machining marks will be too obvious.

In my opinion it's going to be fine even with a silver panel. It's not always easy to predict that before doing the machining but I am pretty confident the final result will be good
Guanluca - Are you able to do additional custom panels? I would like to add two internal rectangular panels (6 to 10mm thick) that would go top to bottom inside the Slimline 2U chassis to separate the digital and power supply circuitry from the analog circuitry. These would require tapped blind holes along the edge of the panels to secure to the bottom panel.
Can I order these by paying for an extra 10mm front panel and CNC charge?
Thanks,
Jay

Hello Jay,
Our panels can only be 10mm thick, do you already have a drawing of how you would like this panel to be? We can machine 10mm thick front panels so they have the dimensions you require.

Internal panels
I've attached two drawings to show what I have in mind. The first drawing shows the two panels, and the second shows how they will fit in the Slimline 2U chassis (top view).
PS. I received my two Mini Dissipante 3U chassis yesterday. They look great. Excellent machining and no scratches even after machining without re-anodizing. Nice work. There was one small issue with the order - I ordered silver front panels and received black. But since these are for monoblock amps that will be placed behind my speakers, this is not a big concern.
Thanks.
