Round 18" Grilles

markie wrote: Here's what I don't understand. Round grills are about a fiver each for the cheap ones (that are almost made on tinfoil) or £9.00 for one made of 1.1mm steel. Then theres £3 odd for a set of standard clamps, so that's £8-12 per cabinet. Then you have to mess around with wooden rings to allow for the excursion. The above cabs have batten already fitted for  a square grill to fully cover the driver. I charge £16.50 max for such a grill which is 1.5mm thick and looks (hopefully) far more professional. For an extra fiver you can even  have it powder coated. Doesn't seem to make sense to be but then I am biased.

I think for some it's purely the looks of it, show as much wood as possible and that

Circular grills are good for prototypes. If you know that you might change the design later but still want to defeat inquisitive fingers. I'm also considering a hi-fi style cloth front as that can be made to measure in a similar way to the metal grills but is much cheaper.

yes yes true rc1 , you can router them out yuself easy enough too
