    Default Mini breadboards

    I'm making some custom optical breadboards. Like so:



    Specs:
    - 8" x 8" x 1/4" cast aluminum tooling plate
    - #4-40 tapped holes on a 1/2" grid (distance across outer holes is 7")
    - Corner holes are 1/4", for mounting

    These are custom-done on my own CNC, so I can easily adjust the hole pattern, do metric M3 instead of 4-40, change the spacing, etc. Asking $125 each for 1/2" grid spacing, $200 for 1/4" spacing.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Andy, since you are already looking at this thread...a mini breadboard this side of the pond might be worth looking into.

    It's a great idea!
    Cheers

    Nah, no ATC, just a basic setup so far. Next step will probably be a 4th axis...
