Morning and Happy New Year to everyone.
I'm attempting to make some No11- 19 Radio mounts which have quite a few pressings and hole recesses but! I just started with a couple of 16mm thick plates and squared them up to the same size which just makes them easy to line up. Marked exactly where the side pressings are and milled out the unwanted material to a depth of 3mm then repeated the opposite side with a match.

I gave both pieces a clean up with a flap disc in my 5" grinder and file then did a test piece and it did turn out really nice. I just need to cut my pieces to shape and nd then make some more parts possibly today.

Being Sunday I managed some good shed time
 so I cut enough ends for 6 mounts (12 Plates) gave them a sand blast and got them ready for pressing. I tried my vertical press first but it struggled realy hard so I had to use my cropper which is a 160ton machine and had no trouble getting the plates totally flat and they pressed out very nice.

I got all the corners rounded and the 90deg bends done and now working on the doubler plates. These certainly are fairly tricky components to make.
