Laser-cut speaker grilles?

[Brisso57]

I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has laser-cut their own speaker grilles.

It'd be good for the retro look.

I’ve CNC routed a few but never thought to laser cut them - what type of design did you have in mind?

These guys do them. From doing the CAD design to getting them cut, powder coated and then posted to you. Great service. They ended up being cheaper for the entire thing than some companies were quoting me just to powder coat something I provided.

A friend makes punches for paper, basically a press item, he laser cuts grooves in plywood and fits blades in it.
Autocad or similar programs are used.

So not a big issue, find a shop that makes those tools, ask a printing press owner.

They are also known as carton punching dies.
Most shops make at least 20 dies daily, so not difficult for them to cut wood as per your instructions.

I will be happy to answer any question you have

The op has not followed up on his original post in over a year so I don't think he's that bothered.
We don't even know what material he was planning.
I do like your acrylic grill though.

Thank you! Not easy when the WAF is strong haha.

My gf is picky, she end up telling me “do what you what” because she doesn’t like it but everyone who came to my house says the grille are nice.

I’m kind of in the same pickle now with my subwoofer grille, don’t know where to go grille wise.
