I am building a shelf like others have done for their tooling mounted on the rear splash/chip shield. I have looked for grommets but they tend to not be a size that will work for everything, such as a dead center or drill chuck in the MT4 size that my 1440GS utilizes.
I haven’t found any “rope” like material that I can cut to length and then put in as a grommet. The MT4 for the drill chuck is 1-1/4” diameter which would be fine, but that only works because the back of the chuck is much larger.
Two questions.....
1. Anyone know where I can find some rope like material for a shelf that is1/8” thick?
2. Since the shelf is aluminum, can I get away with not using any grommet type material around the hole and just have it be the MT4 tools sitting in bare aluminum, 6061-T6
Thank you in advance....Herb
