Metal Drafting Templates

[Erik Oerter]

Anyone know of a source for metal (steel or aluminum) drafting templates for drawing (or wood burning) circles or ellipse?

Thanks.

I don't know a source for the drafting templates but I have used an internet supplier to make some custom drilling/routing templates. The supplier is called www.frontpanelexpress.com. They intend to serve the electronics industry for making prototype front panels but I've had success with using them for templates too. They are not cheap but you can do almost any shapes you can imagine. You first download their free software, lay out the panel, estimate the pricing and if it is not too pricey, order it via internet. The software is easy to learn and the accuracy is very very good.
