New switch panel...who?

[rosssavage]

Time to renew my switch panel on the boat - anyone know of someone good with panels?

I am going to provide / fit all the elex gimickery, just need some one to make the panel - looking for someone who can cut neat holes of odd shapes for the meters and breakers etc, and engrave the plastic laminate... who please?!

Thanks!

Acorn engineering at Ashton u Lyne is excellent at this-then have a website acornengineering.co.uk

I did this a couple of months ago, and found it surprisingly difficult to find someone who seemed both competent and able to do it for a reasonable price.

I ended up using these guys - they're a small telecoms company who for some strange reason also operate a laser-engraving machine. I sent them a PostScript file (generated from Omnigraffle) with the cutting and engraving I wanted done - red lines for cuts, black lines/text for engraving - and am very happy with the result. They charge per minute of lasering time, which is controlled by the machine based on your file and the software can work out in advance how long it will take, so if you send them the file they can give you an accurate quote before going ahead.

This company was mentioned in PBO some time ago as being good. I posted the link previously and at least one forumite used them and had good results.

Spotted this person on ebay today - from Poland but looks OK and has several sizes & styles depending what you want. Looks reasonable if you want several identical. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SWITCH-PANEL-...tEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item230f913013
