Re: Sheetmetal Gauge comparasion
I used 18 gauge for all my patch panels and shaved firewall stuff. I make artsy stuff with it too, so I always have a few 4'x8' sheets around.
19ga steel is .0418, 19ga aluminum is .0359.

Re: Sheetmetal Gauge comparasion
That is certainly true. No matter how deep you have to dig.... ![]() Good to see some of these old threads come back to the top. A lot of names in this thread you don't see posting any more.... LockDoc
