How much would a pair of 7075-T6 aluminum OG plates cost? Just curious.
Short answer: $100+
Do TVP's get bent? If so, 7075 could be justified, even at 5x the cost. I can grab a piece of 6061 material for $10 off ebay. Where 7075 will run $50 for the exact same size. All of that's without shipping. An added cross brace in a 6061 frame would probably put your further ahead in rigidity for a considerable cut in cost, just a thought.
If there is the slightest bit of a market where I could make more than one set at a time, the price would come down. Not just in material cost, but in my time. Running parts is relatively fast. Maybe three min in actual machineing time vs setup time, drafting, and programming that are the most time consuming.
Business is not my strong suit. I can draft, program, and machine. Work with me, and I'll be happy to do work for anyone.
