Default Grill material

I was reading thru the posts in this forum and saw the one question about metal for a grill. I tinker with about everything and some of the microwaves I have salvaged electrical transformers from have a nice piece of perforated metal sandwiched in the door. I save these for just such a use. The ones I have saved are already black but I suppose they could be painted. Just a thought to share.
Jim

It would have to have been a pretty good sized microwave to be large enough to make a grille. Besides, the style of holes would be wrong for a grille.

Have you seen the size of some of the older microwaves doors? Plenty big enough for a grille on a Cub.

I was talking more about the headlight area or whatever. I use them for other projects also. Vents for project boxes.

I have a catalog form a company that sells all kinds of perforated and expanded metal sheets at my store. They carry what looks to be exactly what was used in many of the grills. I have not needed any yet but keep it with all my resource materials just in case. if any one needs something let me know and I will get more info for you.

I've used the mesh from one of those 10' diameter C band satellite dishes to use under my 782 as a grass screen where the deck lift arms go.
Those guard screens are usually MIA.
Oh and it is aluminum.

Just came across this for us people from the land down under.
Sheet sizes just need to be trimmed in length.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
