[QUOTE="bjfish11, post: 4938556, member: 562873"] Im confused... you are looking for a builder, but it appears you do your own builds? Anyways, you have to look past the original cost of the material. Trupan is about 30 lbs less per sheet. On average, I save around 20 lbs per box. That saves on shipping, and allows me to ship larger enclosures (DHL wont ship over 150 lbs). Also, I had mentioned it is easier on bits and blades. I change table saw blades maybe twice a year. Some of the bits have been in my routers for 2-3 years. With my build technique, some of the routers have to be set up EXACTLY. If not, the panels will not go together properly, if at all. If I dont have to change bits every month, that saves me a lot of time throughout the life of a bit, not to mention, router bits are not cheap. By saving time and weight, I can save the customer that extra money he spent on the material. So all in all, it all equals out really.
